Facing the Lakers who scored 35+7+9, there is no reason why the Suns should not keep this new star in the backcourt, right?

In a previous NBA preseason game, the Phoenix Suns, playing at home, defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 113-104. After this game, the Suns' record in the preseason improved to 3 wins and 1 loss, while the Lakers' record in the preseason dropped to 1 win and 3 losses.

In this game, the Suns' starting backcourt star Jared Butler can be said to have achieved a super explosion. Butler played 33 minutes and 52 seconds, shooting 14 of 25, 5 of 9 from beyond the three-point line, and 2 of 6 free throws. He scored a game-high 35 points, plus 7 rebounds, 9 assists, and 1 steal. He did not make a single turnover and had 3 fouls. The plus-minus value was +1. Butler showed comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. He got a lot of ball rights and shot opportunities. He also brought out his own characteristics. His breakthroughs were sharp, and his touch on outside shooting was also hot. Not only that, his performance in passing and organization is also remarkable. Butler's performance in this game is completely that of a qualified ball-handling core. Not only can he complete a large number of personal scores while holding a large amount of ball rights, but he can also support the team's offensive system. This performance is absolutely phenomenal. There is no doubt that his performance on the court is also an important factor in the team's ability to defeat its opponents despite resting a large number of players.

Butler was born in August 2000. He is 25 years old, 191cm tall and weighs 88kg. He is a backcourt player from Baylor University selected by the Utah Jazz with the 40th pick in the second round of the 2021 NBA Draft. In the NBA regular season last season, Butler played 60 times on behalf of the Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers, averaging 17.4 minutes per game. He averaged 9 points, 1.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game. He also had 1.3 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He shot 44.8% from the field, 35.5% from the three-point range, and 82.4% from the free throw line. In the NBA Development League last season, Butler played a total of 2 games on behalf of the Wizards' affiliated team Capital Gogo, averaging 30.3 minutes per game. He averaged 22.5 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game. He also had 1.5 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. He shot 57.7% from the field, 42.9% from the three-point range, and 75% from the free throw line.

During the preseason, Butler averaged 21 minutes per game in the first four games, averaging 15.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.5 blocks per game. He also had 2 turnovers and 3 fouls. He shot 47.1% from the field, 35.3% from the three-point range, and 66.7% from the free throw line. Butler's performance during the preseason was indeed unstable. He was not efficient in every game in the previous games. Some of his offensive choices were also unreasonable. In many cases, he sacrificed the interests of the team for his own data. However, in this game, Butler, who got a lot of playing time, has fully proved his strength. He also proved that he not only has the ability to score, but also has the ability to organize. Judging from the current situation, the Suns can actually offer another standard contract, and Butler has already performed like this. There is no reason for him not to stay in the Suns' lineup for the new season, right?
