He played 6 games for OKC last season and averaged 6.2 points, 0.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. Dawkins is really just bringing all his guys over.
[Scored 31 points in a summer league game against the Spurs.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUhgF7Ycqf8) This was the very last game of summer league, so most of the good players sat out.
Great pick up, does that fill up all our two way spots? Q Jackson, Omoruyi and now Jared Butler.
Kinda feels bad for Jules Bernard tho, honestly thought he’d be getting last the two way spot
Nice, he was a beast at Baylor, hopefully he can make a name for himself in the league
He cooked Kispert and the Bulldogs during the NCAA championship a couple years back lol
This guy can shoot the shit out of the ball. He also has a nice floater game, and can create for himself a little bit. On defense, he’s a decent POA defender.
The issue are he’s undersized and has some of the most egregious tunnel vision ever. Should be a good back up PG long term, though.
Dropped 22 on us this SL. And is coming from where Dawkins just left, so Will saw his work ethic and professionalism first hand.
I actually really like this. He was one of the guys I really wanted when we traded back from 22 to 31 that year. At either of those picks tbh. Glad to see we’re giving him a chance
Sam Vecenie had him 17th (one ahead of Kispert) in his 2021 big board. Good and detailed scouting report. I think he had some fluky injuries in Utah and there was a roster crunch in training camp last year.

Glut of guards is why he was waived in Utah last year. Rough start there but good reports out of OKC.

Really like this signing
march madness legend
Ayyy we got J. Butler 🙌
Don’t see why almost all of his plays from this game can’t translate. Handle, cutting, passing,shooting, defending PGs. Turns 23 soon, so the same age as a few guys drafted this year. He could end up the backup PG here some day.

I love this so much
Good pickup and a guy who has seized the few minutes he’s gotten in Utah and OKC. I actually have coworkers who spoke very highly of him from [his campaign](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NzJDBRPMzHs) to raise awareness about his heart condition.
I liked his game when he was at Baylor
Howdy from OKC. We have too much of a logjam at guard to develop him further, but I think he’s got plenty of untapped potential. Hopefully he’s a diamond in the rough for you guys.
