Who do you think is having the better postseason to this point? Obviously Barnes postseason isn't over but up until now, what do you guys think?
Both have come up huge in key moments all postseason. They're both the swingmen of the future for their teams.

I'm going to go with Jimmy Butler. Barnes has way more potential and will probably be the better player when it's all said and done, but Butler has been so huge for the Bulls this entire postseason and has played a key role in their success.

Barnes and it ain't even close for me.
butler is about to be 25.
Butler will be a good role player.
Barnes has a chance to be Vince Carter esque.

I'd fully agree I would rather have Barnes but the question...

I'd say Barnes.

Yeah, I think I have to agree. Barnes will likely be the better player, as he's obviously got a much higher ceiling, but Thibs was riding Butler on defense and he was a focal part of the offense.
I wanted to compare them going forward, but I think everyone would agree on Barnes. I think right now, with the shots Butler hit in the last minutes of some of these games, and all the rebounds he's gotten and defense he's played, you have to go with Butler. Not to take anything away from Barnes, though.

Barnes has the luxury of being the 4th or 5th scoring option on the floor when he's playing. He gets a lot of open and trailing shots. That being said he's a very talented kid who's really good when he plays within himself.
Butler is no chump, though. The fact that he was drafted that late in the 1st was due to scouts overlooking him for whatever reason. I always felt he was a lottery type of talent. He's on a team that's horrible offensively and his team doesn't play with the same pace as Golden State does.
I'll take Jimmy Butler. |

Barnes MPG:39.1 PPG:16.7 FG:45% 3pt:38% Reb:6.6
Butler MPG:40.2 PPG:12.8 FG:43% 3pt:42% Reb:5.2
Their minutes are pretty much even, and Barnes has Butler beat in every category except 3pt%. Both have had good postseasons but the difference is Butler is guarded by LJ and Battier while Barnes is by Parker and Ginobili hence the reason why Barnes has looked better.

Barnes has easily played better.
But Barnes is doing it as the 3-5th scoring option on most nights, and he isnt being asked to defend the opposing teams best players. |

butler doesn't even turn 24 until september
anyways, both are studs. actually came down to these two for one of my picks in FFNBA. they're just different players. i'm a huge barnes fan, but he's definitely more offensive minded, where butler is just a defensive stud who puts everything he's got into the game.
seriously depends on what you're looking for.

That's odd. When I had checked for his age a few months ago, They had Jimmy as 24..
Dude looks 30though

| Butler averaged 15.6/6.4/1.6, while shooting 42% from 3 and 95% from the line in a series in which he was matched up against the best player in the NBA for about 44 minutes a game. I think Barnes is the better player, but what Butler has done in the last series gets my vote for the most impressive post-season. |

Barnes has not easily played better. If he's played better at all, which is very debatable, it's not been by much.
