20. Jimmy Butler

Age: 25Position: Shooting GuardTeam: Chicago BullsDrafted: 2011, Round 1, Pick 30 by the Chicago Bulls Jimmy Butler has arguably been the biggest break out star of this NBA season. Everybody around the league had seen him develop as a very good defender that could guard the oppositions best players and therefore saw him as a defensive stopper. However, no one saw this seasons' offensive production coming, with his scoring average going up to 20.3 points per game from 13.1 last season, along with a jump in rebound and assist numbers, Butler has helped the Bulls to third place in the Eastern Conference thus far and was rewarded with his first All-Star selection this season.
