Mark Butler is Lafayette’s steady engine at guard
In the 2025-26 season, Mark Butler averaged 10.7 points and 4.2 assists in 34 games for Lafayette, while adding 2.2 rebounds and 0.9 steals per game; he also earned Academic All-Patriot League honors, which fits the profile of a reliable, high-IQ floor general[2][3][9][13]. The appeal is obvious: he can run an offense, keep the ball moving, and give you a mature, disciplined presence in the backcourt; the limitation is that he’s more control-and-creation than burst-and-blast, so he projects best for a team that values poise, decision-making, and leadership over raw explosiveness[5][7][13].
