Golden State Warriors fans noticed something encouraging and different during Friday night’s game against the Sacramento Kings.
Standing on the sidelines was Jimmy Butler, who had a pen and clipboard and was drawing up plays for his fellow Warriors, including Draymond Green.
Speaking on his podcast, Green talked about that moment and said that Butler is “an over-communicator” who is “gonna come to you before something ever happened.”
Green said that getting advice from such a smart and powerful basketball mind is exactly what he wants, and this is further proof that Butler is a great addition to Golden State.

Butler has now played six games with the Warriors, and the team has gone 5-1 during that time.
During his short tenure with the team, he has averaged 20.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.5 assists.
A lot of people were worried about him when he joined the team, especially because things got so bad with the Miami Heat.
They wondered if he could be committed to another team and if he could play like his former self.
So far, he has been great, and the Warriors are happy to have him.
He has come to the squad at the right time and is helping them look like they could be in the playoffs again.
Nothing is promised, and things could change between now and the postseason.
But Butler is doing a lot to help the Warriors, both on the court and on the sidelines during timeouts.
Should we expect to see more of Butler acting as coach soon?
