Former Gardner-Webb forward who brought size, rim protection, and glass-cleaning energy
Santoine Butler is best known for being a long, versatile forward who could impact a game without dominating the ball—at 6'7" and 210 pounds as a Gardner-Webb sophomore, he fit the mold of an active frontcourt piece. His profile points to toughness, rebound work, and defensive value, and later reports from USC Aiken described him as one of the top shot-blockers in the country in the 2012-13 season, with 74 blocks, 12.3 points, and 6.7 rebounds per game. If you want a physically engaged, defense-first forward with real interior presence, he’s the kind of player worth a hard look.
