Jared Butler is a guard for the Phoenix Suns, wearing number 13 and operating primarily as a backcourt playmaker. The Baylor product stands 6'3" and weighs 193 lbs, born August 25, 2000. Butler went undrafted out of college, where he was a key contributor to Baylor's 2021 national championship run, and has worked his way into NBA rotations through his playmaking instincts and defensive activity.
Through four games this season, Butler is averaging 15.5 points, 4.2 assists, and 3.2 rebounds per game across 21.0 minutes, with a solid 1.8 steals per game adding defensive value. His shooting efficiency carries some variance, posting a 44.0% mark from the field but only 22.2% from three, while his 58.3% free throw rate suggests some volatility at the line. His plus-minus sits at -3.2 over this small sample. For bettors, Butler's points total is a primary prop angle given his current scoring output relative to his minutes, though the low three-point percentage warrants caution on made-threes props. His assists numbers in the 4-plus range make playmaking props worth monitoring, and his steals average positions him well for defensive stat props if sportsbooks offer them in his market.
