Assuming the heart condition isn't anything serious, Butler for me. Bouknight's one intriguing thing is his ability to finish at the rim. Otherwise, too much dribbling and tunnel vision for me. "Constantly dribbling around [traps] to get a shot".... Misses open teammates and takes tough contested 2s"... we agreed we want high IQ right? His defense is passable, at best.
Also, there's redundancy with JP while being a worse version of JP. Unless this guy has some crazy work ethic that we can't see from the videos, I'd be really sad to see him taken at #7.
My vote is for bouknight…it’s been nearly 2 weeks and it doesn’t seem like Butler has passed the medical exams, which doesn’t leave me optimistic that he’s draftable.
If it wasn't for the medicals, it would be Butler in a landslide. But if my aunt had wheels, she'd be a bicycle. I still vote Butler, but he's behind a whole bunch of players now.
I'm unreasonably high on Butler -- the handle, shooting off the dribble & elite C&S, playmaking, defense, plus he's young for a junior at 20. Really only knock on him is his short little arms, and his heart condition. Bouknight seems like a boom or bust type, which is fine but not what we need right now, and I think Butler still has some upside to dream on. If it wasn't clear I'm voting Butler.
This might be a worse choice than the first matchup. I'll go with Butler anyway, just because I don't trust Bouknight. Even at 14, I think I'd sooner go with Tre Mann if we're drafting score-first ball hogs. I know it's fun to dream on dynamic athleticism, but I don't see that as what the Warriors need, and we drafted that dream last year (albeit at a different position).
Bouknight. Our defense was >> our offense last year, Bouknight can get to the cup and draw fouls. Can help now and potential for much more. Re Butler: Heart issues should scare us. That’s my medical opinion.

Bouknight over Butler.

Bouknight purely due Butlers health
I can't imagine the 16-17 Warriors facing off against either PHO or MIL... Dubs in 3

I vote for Bouknight. Butler should basically be DQed given his medical status.
Fears of Hank Gathers (R.I.P.)...... my vote for J.Bouknight, besides another James to pair with Wiseman :{)>

Seems to me there's a consensus Top 6 and then about 10 guys who "we don't want at #7, but we would love at #14".
