In four years of college, Jimmy Butler has made tremendous progress, but unfortunately these improvements have not impressed the managers of NBA teams, but instead made them feel that Jimmy Butler's talent has been exhausted and there is not much room for improvement!

This is not surprising, players around 19~21 years old is the best technical stereotype period, the so-called huge potential generally refers to the strong plasticity of this period, after this period of time, there are few adjectives related to talent!

And Jimmy Butler has been in school for four years, and he is already over 21 years old, and in the eyes of NBA scouts, there is no talent at all!

However, there are exceptions, and there are players who are really talented enough not to be trained by professional trainers in the NBA, such as Tim Duncan, the best power forward in history.

He just got into the NBA after four years of college.

Of course, his stats at college are enough to show that he is different from most players, and if that group of people is a genius, then he is a genius among geniuses.

In 1993, Duncan enrolled in Wake Forest University to study psychology. In the opening game against the University of Alaska, Duncan didn't score a point. After that, with high-intensity training, Duncan's performance quickly improved. In his sophomore year of college, Duncan scored 25 points in a game against Wallace University, and Jerry West decided that he would be the top pick in the 1995 NBA Draft, but when Duncan was 14 years old, he promised his mother, who had cancer, that he would "finish college and get a degree no matter what", so he chose to stay in school until graduation. Over the next two years, Duncan was given plenty of opportunities to work out, creating an unstoppable offensive prowess, often forcing opponents to use a three-man trap in games, and on the defensive end, Duncan was equally impressive, winning the Defensive Player of the Year award twice. In 1997, Duncan became the player with the most wins in the history of the Devils Deacons, won the John Wooden Award, and was named to the NCAA All-American First Team for the second year in a row. He surpassed the 2,000 points and 1,500 rebounds mark, making him the tenth person in the NCAA to accomplish this feat and the first player in the NCAA to reach 1,500 points, 1,000 rebounds, 400 blocks and 200 assists at the same time.

There is such a saying that was very popular at the time, from 1995 to 1997, during the three years of Duncan, no matter which year Duncan participated in the draft, he was the champion, even if it was the 96 golden generation, if he really participated in the draft that year, then the champion would definitely not be Allen Iverson.

This is indisputable.

Genius has the brilliance of genius, and little people have the way of life of little people.

Jimmy Butler is naturally a small person compared to Duncan, even if he later became famous, he was still much worse than Duncan.

However, the talent that came out of Marquette University is still a bit interesting, just like Wade also read his junior year, which also affected the draft pick, and finally fell to the fifth pick in '03.

But he still goes up a step a year, so he has broken all the way up!

In the end, he became a top superstar in the NBA, and even sat on the throne of the first person in the NBA for a while.

Jimmy Butler inherited his tradition as a senior, and after entering the university, he also climbed up step by step, and finally in 2013, Jimmy Butler completed the battle for fame in his career.

This is a series, a series against the Heat, who were the defending champions at the time!

The Bulls finally beat the Heat 93-86 on the road, and the series took the lead 1-0. The protagonist Jimmy Butler not only successfully completed his defensive tasks, but also played well on the offensive end, scoring 21 points, 14 rebounds and 3 assists, becoming a key figure in the Bulls' victory.

Meanwhile, after playing the final two games against the Nets, Butler once again played 48 minutes without a break. In the history of the NBA playoffs, only three players have played three consecutive games, the most recent of which was Allen Iverson in 2005.

His perseverance has also become a quality that everyone praises, and the average player does not have the willpower of his.

It was also with the potential shown in this round against the Heat that Jimmy Butler had more playing time in the fourth year of his rookie contract, which was the last year of his rookie contract, the most exaggerated being on January 16, 2014, in the Bulls' three-overtime victory over the Magic, Jimmy Butler played 60 minutes and 20 seconds, becoming the most minutes played in a single game since Jalen Rose in 2001, and the 60 minutes and 20 seconds of playing time also set a new team record.

The fact that a player can play for an hour and 20 seconds shows how strong Butler's endurance and willpower are...

Because of this, after the end of this year's contract, the Bulls' top management signed Jimmy Butler for 5 years and 95 million!

Think about Jimmy Butler at the beginning, but he averaged only 20 points, 5 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game to win such a high contract, and the contract prepared by the Bulls senior management for Li Ming at that time...

Hum! Not uncommon!
