Jahmyl Telfort - Scoring trending downward Telfort logged 10 points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 82-77 victory over Seton Hall.
Impact Telfort remains Butler's scoring leader at 15.2 ppg, but he's now failed to hit that average in three of his last four games. Even with a tough matchup against UConn on tap, Telfort remains one of Butler's most reliable fantasy options due to his all-around production.

Pierre Brooks - Keeping up career-best pace Brooks had 19 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 82-77 win over Seton Hall.
Impact Brooks and the Bulldogs bounced back from a nine-game losing streak Wednesday, but the streak certainly hasn't been due to any kind of slump for the senior, who is averaging 15.6 ppg over his last 10 contests. He's neck-in-neck with Jahmyl Telfort (15.2 ppg) for the team scoring lead, and the duo will have to keep it up with a tough road matchup against UConn on Saturday.

Kolby King - Bounces back from recent drought King produced 11 points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 82-77 win over Seton Hall.
Impact Since being elevated to the starting point guard for the Bulldogs, King was unable to crack five points until the win over the Pirates. The 6-foot-2 junior also registered his 14th steal of the season in the close victory. Although he hasn't been the most consistent player on the scoring front even when he was operating off the bench this year, he should continue to be a more comfortable shooter as a starter moving forward.

Jamie Kaiser - Set to redshirt 2024-2025 Kaiser (ankle) will redshirt during the 2024-2025 season, per the IndyStar.
Impact Kaiser, a Maryland transfer, has yet to play this season while nursing an ankle injury, and Butler will need to wait until the 2025-2026 campaign to deploy their guard. He'll have three seasons of eligibility remaining still, but his loss hurts Butler's depth for the time being.

Boden Kapke - Season-high 13 points off bench Kapke registered 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists over 20 minutes during Saturday's 80-76 loss to Creighton.
Impact Kapke has been a contributor off the bench in every game thus far, but he's seen his usage go up in the recent games with double-digit minutes in six of Butler's last seven outings. The sophomore big man capitalized on his increased playing time versus the Bluejays, registering a season-high 13 points and three makes from behind the arc. He likely won't start a game with the Bulldogs' five locked in at this moment, but he should continue to see an influx of minutes moving forward.

Patrick McCaffery - 21 points in loss to Bluejays McCaffery totaled 21 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and seven rebounds across 35 minutes during Saturday's 80-76 loss to Creighton.
Impact McCaffery put together his best scoring game since November, but his efforts weren't enough in the eventual four-point loss to Creighton. The senior forward also tacked on seven rebounds, putting him at an average of 6.5 rebounds per game in the last four games for the Bulldogs. The 6-foot-9 playmaker now also has score double-digit points in all but three games this year.

Augusto Cassia - Dressed but won't play Saturday Cassia (knee) is dressed ahead of Saturday's matchup with Creighton though he ultimately won't play, Akeem Glaspie of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact While Cassia won't play Saturday, the sophomore appears to be nearing a return after missing Butler's last six games. Cassia averaged 5.1 points and 3.1 rebounds in 10 games (eight starts) this season.

Andre Screen - Two steals vs. Friars Screen supplied six points (2-8 FG, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 84-65 loss to Providence.
Impact Screen was unable to get things going from a scoring perspective in the blowout loss to the Friars, but he did log a season-high two steals. The 7-foot-1 senior's contributions have been more as a big presence in the paint and sometimes efficient rebounder so far this season, but the Bulldogs will need to focus on getting involved as a scorer at least in some capacity of they hope to stay competitive in continuously tougher conference outings moving forward.
