It's been 5 years since Butler became a rotation a starter.

In the past 5 years:

• Butler has played 81% of his total regular season games.

• Butler has played 100% of his total playoff games.

For comparison purposes (top teams)

• Gordon Hayward has played 74% of his total regular games.

• Kyrie Irving has played 80% of his total regular games.

• Al Horford has played 79% of his total regular season games.

• Kevin Durant has played in 75% of his total regular season games.

  • Joel Embiid has played in 57% of his games in the past 2 years. Not counting the years he was injured completely.

Butler isn't a rare case. Most players are around his % of games played. His minutes are concerning, but most contenders will reduce his minutes a lot (especially teams like Toronto or Boston, who have actual NBA benches)
