Jimmy Butler has rejuvenated his NBA career since joining the Miami Heat ahead of the 2019-20 season. He has also helped the Heat re-open their championship window for the first time since the break up of the Heatles.

When the New Orleans Pelicans drafted Zion Williamson with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, hopes were high that he would be able to elevate the franchise to new heights. He's one of the most explosive athletes in the NBA, and with his build, he was projected to be an unstoppable force in the league.
