Efficient Hilltoppers Forward Turned International Pro Prospect
Jaylen Butz, a 6-9 forward from Western Kentucky, wrapped his college career with solid 2021-22 averages of 6.6 PPG and 4.7 RPG on 58.2% FG, showcasing his paint efficiency and rebounding tenacity in 89 games (47 starts) across DePaul and WKU. Post-undrafted in 2022, he posted 6.2 PPG and 3.8 RPG at 65.0% FG in the 2023-24 international season, highlighting his physicality and scoring inside without relying on jumpers. A gritty, high-motor big from Fort Wayne, IN, he's a plug-and-play rebounder for teams needing frontcourt depth—underrated gem with pro experience.
