Butler may have plenty more to give

There is a possibility that Butler has reached his ceiling. And that would be just fine. After all, many have already labeled him a top-20 player, some even top-10.

But since it did take him some time to reach this point, and still being so young, there is also the chance that he could continue to improve. Under the proper coaching staff. Alongside the right teammates. Being used in the correct way.

So, with that in mind, Chicago should forget about rebuilding and simply build around Butler.

Look, the hot-shot scored a career-high 52 points against the Charlotte Hornets on Jan. 2.

This was after already scoring 40 vs. the Los Angeles Lakers on Nov. 20 and the Brooklyn Nets on Dec. 28. Then he followed up 52 with 42 in a win over the Toronto Raptors just five days later.

(He scored 40 once more against the Atlanta Hawks on Jan. 25. Just saying.)

Imagine if the star somehow has more to give.
