Kethan Savage was Butler’s tough-minded two-way guard
In the 2016-17 season, Kethan Savage gave Butler a reliable veteran edge: 8.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 0.9 steals per game in 20.4 minutes, while shooting 44.3% from the field[1][6]. His best calling card was toughness—he was a rotation stabilizer who defended, created timely steals, and produced in BIG EAST play, where he averaged 10.5 points per game[2]. If a team wanted a physical, composed guard who could handle pressure and make winning plays without needing the spotlight, Savage fit the bill[2][13].
