The Miami Heat signed their second round draft pick Desean Butler this week, the details of his contract were not yet released. Butler was injured in the Final Four last year and that injury gave the Heat a chance to take him in the second round of the draft before he was snatched up by anyone else. Butler, a 6’7”, 230-pound forward, played all four seasons at West Virginia University appearing in 146 games (110 starts) and averaged 14.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.06 steals while shooting 44.8 percent from the field, 35.3 percent from three-point range and 73.3 percent from the foul line.
Butler tore his ACL in the Final Four tournament earlier this year and if it weren't for that injury he would have been a first round draft pick and maybe even a top 5-10 pick. He left West Virginia as the winningest player in school history. The Heat are hoping that he rebounds quickly and comes right back to top playing form so he can help aid the Heat in their pursuit of another title or titles depending on how optimistic you are. Butler will be competing for the Heat's 15th starting roster position. We wish him luck, go Heat!
