Woooo! Here's to hoping the rockets pick him up. But dang...downside....he's 23 years old!!! He's ancient man...a geezer...that's along the lines of Franchise...lol.
Him being 23 just gives me the feeling he won't be another damn project. Projects are the last thing we need. Get Butler - have you seen him play? He has all the confidence in the world, plays hard, and plays mature. He's a perfect fit for this team. Perfect. He works hard, is a hustle player, and has never been majorly injured from what I know. EARTH TO RUDY: DRAFT BUTLER OR PICK UP A VET.
I like Butler. BUT... His past is a little scary, he was very young when it all happened though. from USAToday.com: I wouldn't mind using our Toronto pick on him if he is still around.
Apparently he's rededicated his life since his early travails, so let's give him a little slack. There is only one problem with Caron Butler: It is unlikely he will last past #4 (JW, Ming, Woods, Butler). He'll impress during his team workouts. We might have to trade up if we really want him, depending on how the (lotto) balls drop. I didn't see UConn in the NCAA but the more I read/hear about Caron Butler, the more I think we should grab him. Unless we get Yao Ming. But, even then...
