Jazz select Jared Butler - Draft Grades 2021

[Handlogten's Heros]

Crazy that the Jazz got a win now player with starting potential at 40. And he's not super old either. I don't think he's even turned 21 get.

Much younger than his backcourt mate… he’s better too imo… they just ****ing dominated college basketball. If he’s healthy he’s a rotation player for sure. People don’t even know the off court stuff yet either… he has charisma dripping off his balls. He’s a leader. I haven’t felt this good about a pick since Donovan.

Maybe Butler can't play 3 years from now, but at 40s it's extremely low cost. There are some guys we might be sad about passing on, but if people hindsight bitch about this trade I'm going to be very annoyed

Is there any evidence whatsoever that his condition is degenerative in any sense, or that he has a shorter shelf life?

No idea, but I would imagine that's the fear and why teams didnt pick him.

I saw this and didn't know where to put it, I don't remember ever seeing what his specific heart condition was:



Does anybody know anything about hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

Had been known before college. Can be on some antihypertensives that can help with remodeling over time. Wherever he’s at with it, he was cleared for college play.

So have there been any other pro athletes with this condition and what kind of careers
have they had?

That's scary. Supposedly the same thing that got Reggie Lewis. Cuttino Mobley apparently had it and maybe Kevin Duckworth... based on a brief google search.

The ones who have died before it was diagnosed.

Thanks! Does this make sense as a cause for concern for NBA teams and why he might have slid on draft night? Should I be concerned as a Jazz fan?

It also appears that he seems completely comfortable talking about his condition, so did I just miss this information, or were the Jazz unnecessarily tight lipped about this?

The Jazz are unnecessarily tight-lipped about all kinds of stuff.
