We know from Fearless Leader's earlier post that the Clippers are meeting with Caron Butler for a second time today. I thought it'd be a good time to take a look at Caron's numbers. And, it would be really interesting to look at them against two other small forwards we've talked a lot about, Tayshaun Prince and Andre Iguodala.
Before we start, there are a couple of things that really jumped out at me. First. Caron Butler has missed a lot of games. Of course, he played in only 29 last year, but he misses an average of seventeen games a year over the course of his NBA career. Tayshaun Prince? Andre Iguodala? These guys are both veritable iron men. Between 2004 and 2009, Prince didn't miss a game. Last year at age 30 he started 78. Iggy missed 15 games last year but has five 82 game starts in seven previous years.
I got the stats from Basketball-reference.com and threw out the stuff I didn't care about. Make the jump to see the numbers....
First, career stats:
