To his credit, Butler shot 38.8% on three-pointers this season, but being that he earned $8 million this season and is due the same amount next season, more is expected of the veteran.","date":"Sun May 5"},"fullName":"Caron Butler","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Butler started well enough in his first season in L.A. -- averaging 14.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.9 3-pointers in 29 games before the All-Star break -- but he struggled mightily in the second half, averaging just 9.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 1.1 3-pointers per game after the break. Citing fatigue due to last year's condensed schedule, Butler was borderline waiver-wire material toward the end of the season. He'll come into 2012-13 with lower expectations as the starting small forward for a revamped Clippers lineup that now includes Lamar Odom and Grant Hill at his position. With Odom and Hill in tow, Butler can only be considered a late-round option for his modest contributions in scoring, steals and 3-pointers.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Oct 10"},"playerRater30DAY":1.1,"playerRater15DAY":0.6,"positionRank":29}
