Fantasy Analysis
The veteran Butler has been very consistent for the Clippers of late as he's scored in double figures in four straight games. His 3-point shooting has not been as consistent, but he's still hitting around two threes per night. As long as he keeps that up, Butler will remain a solid start in most Fantasy formats.

After injuries derailed his production the past few seasons, veteran F Caron Butler earns another fresh start in 2011-12. Butler signed with the new-look Clippers and will start opposite F Blake Griffin on the block this year. Butler missed Dallas' championship run last year due to a ruptured right patellar tendon, but he insists he is healthy heading into the upcoming season. He is no longer the Fantasy standout he was previously with Washington and has played in more than 60 games only once since 2006-07. Butler remains a solid source for steals and carries a career field-goal percentage of .441. While Fantasy owners should be wary of a player coming off a major knee injury, Butler could make for a value pick starting in the eighth round of most drafts. (Updated 12/16/11)
