Last year, when the Warriors traded for Jamison, Qin Yue had already considered whether including the team's 2011 first-round pick in that deal was worth it.
Because, as someone who had gone through it, Qin Yue knew very well...
That at the end of the first round in 2011, there was a player whose style perfectly matched the Warriors.
Yes, that player was Jimmy Butler.
Before the draft, Butler had played four full years in college, standing 198 cm tall barefoot with a wingspan of 201 cm.
Although his standing vertical and running vertical reached 81 cm and 99 cm respectively, among the superhumans in the NBA...
Butler's talent wasn't what you'd call extraordinary, at the very least it could be described as lacking highlights.
After all, in the NBA, any dynamic talent analyzed without considering static talent is meaningless.
For example, Stephen Curry.
