The Bulls got an absolute steal with Butler at the end of the first round in 2011, as the Marquette product has turned himself into the second–best player from this class. Butler made his mark on the defensive end early in his career, but he’s since turned into a bona fide No. 1 scoring option. The Timberwolves would really love a do-over on this pick, as Derrick Williams never really panned out for them. Selecting Butler in 2011 would have really changed the course for Minnesota, who would have had an intriguing two-man combo of Kevin Love and Butler.
