The Miami Heat are off to a 15-6 record this season and mostly behind the stellar play of their prized free-agent acquisition from over the summer in Jimmy Butler. While Butler doesn’t quite take the James Harden or even the LeBron James approach of initiating or running everything through him, he does find a way to make a key impact on every play when he needs to.
He is averaging 20.1 points, six rebounds, 6.5 assists, and is tied for the league lead in steals at 2.4 per game.
