Butler isnt really a 3 point shooter so that was a bad example.

Listen if you want to use stats at least use some context. In 2005-06 in 2648 minutes took 15 three pointers. In 2006-07 (with Arenas) he was 74 for 183 (40.4%) In 2007-08 (without Arenas) he was 158 for 413 (38.3%)

He took 130 more three point attempts !!! and was 3% below his previous seasons average. Are we to believe that he found 130 better shots in a season or because of the absence of Arenas he forced more shots? A drop of 3% is hardly significant when taken in the context of that many more shots.

As for last year he was so horrible overall from the field (31%), three point line (27%) and FT line (53%) in a limited amount of games due to injury that not much can be taken from that season.
