The only aspect where Butler is overperforming is from three, where he's shooting 40%. However, given that he only makes .8 a game, that's a rather minute sample size. Moreover, he should have an increase his his percentage from there because of all the wide open looks he gets from distance here which he never got in the past.
From the field, he is only shooting 44.8%. He's a career 44.1% shooter. He's topped his current shooting percentage four times. Considering the easy looks he gets here, if anything, he's underperforming (on the season, he's been much better lately). The problem was that early on he was simply one of the worst players in the league. He's performing right about how he should be now.
