Florida State forward declares for 2022 NBA Draft

Florida State's forward John Butler has declared for the NBA Draft, though he hasn't officially announced it yet, and the expectation is he will retain eligibility for the meantime. At 7'1" and 190 pounds, he brings a very interesting skillset as someone that can defend multiple positions and stretch the floor at his size. He definitely needs to add weight and become more consistent game-to-game, because he's going to be pushed around even more at the next level. 

Butler averaged 5.9 PPG, 3.2 RPG, and 1.2 BPG on shooting splits of 41.6/39.3/44.0. That 39.3% from 3 on 2.7 attempts per game is what has teams interested, but his free throw shooting has to be better. It's important to note he was dealing with an ankle injury for the majority of ACC play, which is why he wasn't as great at the end of January and for most of February. His best game was against Notre Dame in March, where he finished with 16 points, 8 rebounds, 4 blocks, and shot 4/5 from 3-point range.
