13. Jimmy Butler, Miami Heat
A lot of people criticized Jimmy Butler‘s move to South Beach in the offseason, but he quickly made it known why he’s such an impactful force. One of the best all-around players in the association, Butler, along with the help of Bam Adebayo, and rookies Kendrick Nunn and Tyler Herro, made the Miami Heat one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.
He led Erik Spoelstra’s squad with 20.2 points and 6.1 dimes per night while bringing a very competitive spirit to Miami, both on and off the court.
Without Butler’s leadership on a nightly basis and obviously his production on the hardwood, Miami isn’t 41-24 right now. Although they were on a cold spell before the NBA season came to a halt, there’s no doubt they were one of the most feel-good storylines of the 2019-20 campaign.
Wherever Butler has played, he’s always been a consistent player. Once again, the 30-year-old has proved why’s he’s one of the game’s best.
