[Saba Sports News] Jimmy Butler used an Instagram filter to create an amusing all-time starting five with role-players. His lineup featured Donte DiVincenzo as the point guard, Scott Padgett as the power forward, Kyle Singler as the small forward, Steve Novak as the shooting guard, and Al Horford. It was evident that Butler was playfully trolling fans with this unconventional lineup, continuing his humorous antics throughout the summer.
Assessing the potential performance of this starting five in the NBA, only two of the players mentioned are currently in the league. Donte DiVincenzo could excel as the lead guard with more touches, although his usual role emphasizes his defensive skills. Al Horford’s inclusion was particularly amusing given his history with Butler. The other players mentioned, like Scott Padgett, Steve Novak, and Kyle Singler, had relatively unremarkable careers in the NBA.
Butler’s lighthearted lineup seemed intentionally designed to not perform well in the NBA. Despite the Miami Heat’s missed opportunities in the offseason, Butler remains motivated to lead his team to success in the upcoming season, even in the face of challenges.
