Quietly, Jared Butler is putting together one of the better seasons Baylor has seen from a freshman guard. Since conference play began, he is averaging 10.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game while shooting an impressive 43.5% on 4.6 three-point attempts per game. Those numbers have him neck and neck with Kansas’s highly touted freshman Devon Dotson and place Butler among some of the better freshman performances Baylor has seen in recent years. If he keeps up this pace, he’ll be in line for peripheral draft consideration come June. Assuming he stays, though, Scott Drew could have a real gem on his hands.
