Toro's Game 12/29 - Seeing Dasean Butler play first pro game

[Ryvin1]

Went to the Toro's Game and got to see Dasean play his first professional game that I know of and I really had been wondering why he got cut in camp. I had watched so many highlight films on him when we picked him up it looked like he could play at the NBA level from those, so was hopeful he could turn out as a find.

He played with this giant brace on his leg, but he seemed to be able to run and jump okay but he just didn't seem to be moving around well. Might have just been a bad game but it seems it might take some time for him to work back to his pre-injury form. There were some hesitation in his steps at times on his braced leg. He seems to be driven to work back at it and I think he will eventually get there, you never know.

Here's some pics from the game:

Thanks for sharing. Anyone else jump out at you at the game for the Toros? Any seven footers who can walk and chew gum at the same time?

Eric Dawson had a big game, but he's an injury prone 6'9" center who seems to have questionable conditioning.

Leo Lyons is a perimeter PF who came back from an injury and looking good so far. Should be starting soon.

All of Butler's jumpers were short tonight. Probably just not in game shape. Getting plenty of playing time to help in that respect. Made three pretty heady steals and got to the line a few times.
