Currently the front runner for Most Improved Player Award for 2014-2015 NBA season, Jimmy Butler; has had an amazing season thus far. Butler has kept Chicago relevant in the Eastern Conference while Derrick Rose has been in and out of the starting line-up. It’s no surprise that Butler hits a playoff career high in points in a Game 4 loss against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Butler has been able to bring a strong defensive presence, impact the game offensively with a plethora of moves and he’s beginning to become a threat from the three-point line. Butler had 23 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals in a game that came down to the last play for the win. Unfortunately, Butler and the Bulls were on the losing side. Don’t frown Bulls fans, you’re one game away from facing (presumably) the Cleveland Cavaliers.
