Jimmy Butler

After forcing his way off another team, Butler was a seamless fit in Golden State. His arrival before the trade deadline propelled the Warriors back into the playoff picture, through the Play-In Tournament and past the No. 2 seed Rockets in the opening round of the playoffs. However, Stephen Curry's hamstring injury stopped the Warriors in their tracks in the Western Conference Semifinals. Butler racked up more assists and steals per game in Golden State than he did in Miami last season, but he struggled from three-point range with his new squad. Butler shot 41.4 percent from deep on 2.4 three-point attempts per game in 2023-24 but only 30.8 percent from beyond the arc in 2024-25. The main crack in the veteran's fantasy profile remains missed time, making 65 or fewer regular-season appearances in every campaign since 2016-17. However, Butler has still been a quality fantasy asset even when factoring in absences, recording nine straight top-40 finishes in eight-category leagues before regressing in each of the last two campaigns. With renewed energy and a full offseason to gel with his teammates, Butler could get back to being a top-50 option. He appears to be bought in after quickly signing an extension with the Warriors. Still, storylines can quickly change for aging teams, especially in a deep, talented and young Western Conference.
