NBA Draft Scouting 2002

14. Caron Butler

Uconn. 6'7" 235 SG, SF - Soph.

One of my favorite players to watch. The Co-Big East Confernce MVP is nice. He has touch, skill, heart, and desire. The long armed, right-handed, Butler averaged 20 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 3 assists as sophomore in the Big East. ...Shot 48.5% from the field, 40% from three-point range and 77.9% from the free throw line. He likes to go right, so developing the left will be key for him. He has the skills of good guard, wing player. ...His release is quick. ...Athletic, enough to finish inside. ...Can be out of control at times, trying to create. ....Butler is 22 years old, and has two kids. He needs to get stronger, which was evident at Chicago pre-draft camp. ...His wingspan is 6'11 1/2.
