It’s still a small sample size, but Jimmy Butler’s time with the Golden State Warriors has been successful so far.

Butler has felt consistent with his new team and the numbers back that up.

According to Hoop Central, Butler has been on a roll with the Warriors.

It started with his first game in Golden State when he scored 25 points, four assists, and two rebounds.

That was followed by a 20-point, six-assist, and nine-rebound game.

Then he scored 21 points, seven assists, and nine rebounds.

Since then, he has scored 19 points, four assists, and eight rebounds and put up 17 points, seven assists, and three rebounds on Friday night against the Sacramento Kings.

The Warriors have gone 4-1 during that time, and people are feeling much better about Butler on the team.

Is this really a surprise, or should people have seen it coming?

Butler is a strong basketball player and someone who has repeatedly shown that he can lead a team and play well with others.

Of course, that all became clouded by his final few months with the Miami Heat.

During that time, Butler did not want to be there and made life very difficult for the team’s front office.

But these five games with the Warriors are a good reminder of the sort of player Butler can be.

However, will it last?

If the Warriors have any shot of reaching the playoffs and going far, Butler will need to keep playing like this, and the rest of the roster has to remain powerful too.

Butler’s time with the Warriors has gotten off to a good start, but now it’s up to him to keep it going.
