The freewheeling end of the season Wizards benefits Jared Butlerbecause the franchise of the capital announced having signed the back for several years (while cutting Isaiah Livers at the same time). Without however knowing the associated guarantees.
Until then, he only had a “two-way contract” after having had a good Summer League last July (20.0 points, 4.3 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.8 interceptions at 50% shooting, 48% at 3-points and 89% on free throws).
At 23 years old, the 40th choice of the 2021 Draft therefore offers himself a little stability in the NBA on the side of Washingtonafter failing to settle on Utah and Oklahoma the past two seasons (despite his NCAA Final Four MOP status with Baylor in 2021).
This year, Jared Butler alternated stints in the G-League with the Capital City Go-Go (18.6 points, 7.0 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals at 47% shooting, 35% 3-point shooting and 91% shooting) and in the NBA with the Wizards obviously (5.6 points, 2.9 assists and 1.3 rebounds at 48% shooting, 29% 3-pointers and 90% free throws).
It's now been a month since he really settled into Brian Keefe's rotation, with around twenty minutes of average playing time.
