He's answered all the questions about his jail stint for drugs; he's been clean for two years. No one cares about it. Butler is the next name on most teams' lists after Jay Williams and Yao Ming. Listen to the gushing: "He's got the eye of the tiger," says a Pacific scout; "I just love the heart of the kid," says a Midwest executive; "A stud," says a lottery team's personnel man. Viewed by some as a "power three" that has post-up skills in the mold of Paul Pierce, though he doesn't yet have Pierce's range. Butler's forte "might be as a point forward type," says an Atlantic scout. "I envision him being able to initiate offense in a few years." More than his skill, personnel men love his leadership and competitiveness, and how he's gotten better. "That (Connecticut) team had a lot less talent, but he did more with it than the kids at Kansas did with theirs," says the Pacific scout. He may not be the best defensive player around now, but scouts expect he'll work on it. Don't be surprised if someone tries to move up to two to take Butler, not Ming.
