5. Jimmy Butler – Miami Heat

There’s just something about the Miami air that produces excellence. The Heat is once again a solid team in the East and is being led by Jimmy Buckets.

Butler is averaging 23.6 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 5.1 APG, and 2.1 SPG whilst shooting 52.7% from the floor. He’s one of the best two-way players in the game and is playing the best basketball of his career right now.

If I had done this list 10 days ago, Jimmy Butler may have been higher up on this list. The Heat started out the season 6-1, but have gone just 1-4 since then which slides Butler down a few places.
