Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler showed major respect to rookie Pelle Larsson following last night’s 123-118 overtime home win vs. the Dallas Mavericks (14 points/5 rebounds/1 assist/1 steal/zero turnovers/6-8 FG/1-2 3-PT/1-2 FT/+18 +/-).
(via Miami Heat):
“He just do everything. He really do. He can shoot the ball. He can handle the ball. He can finish. He can guard. I think as the game continuously slows down for him, he’s just gonna get more and more comfortable and better. It’s really gon’ be hard for Spo (Erik Spoelstra) to take him off the floor. I like the way that I always see him in early, leaving late. And honestly, he reminds me of myself whenever I was younger in this league. He could probably shoot the ball a lot better than I could though.”
