Jimmy Butler is an assassin in the 4th Quarter.
Clutch City
But...
Apparently he went to Embiid last night pregame and told him he had '1 good quarter' in him.
So is he essentially saving all his energy for the 4th? Which I have no problem with since he's a clutch killer - but the concerning point of this is if he's aging over night - and would you max this guy.
or was this just 'dead legs' since they played Charlotte the night before.
He can essentially be non-existant for 3 Quarters and apparently Brown has had to go to him at times telling him they want him to take the reigns more and not defer so much.
4th Q he seems to show up huge and then you look back at the stat line and he always seems to post respectable #s - but would you 'Max this guy' or go after another top tier free agent to go along with Embiid, Simmons, Harris
Have a fear he's aging overnight with the '1 have one good quarter in me' comment.
Embiid seemed to be ecstatic last night with Butler's late 3 that sealed it stating 'he's a closer' - i.e. which is why they brought him here.
