Russell, hands down.

Butler is not a WNBA caliber player.  She never was able to become a force at UCONN when they badly needed height, and then she went on to dominate a very weak conferenceher senior year which led to gaudy numbers.  She had a great collegiate career where she got the best of both worlds, playing on championship teams and also finding individual success at lesser programs.  She's not a WNBA caliber player though.  Doesn't have the quickness, athleticism, skill or ability.

I think she'll have a productive career overseas, and who knows, she could prove me wrong and find a career in the W like Quigley/Latoya Sanders(Pringle)/Erlana Larkins were able to do even after they struggled to find footing.  She has an uphill battle though--currently we have a crop of young talented posts who are struggling to make an impact in the league (Russell, Mavunga, Vadeeva, Gulich, Billings, etc) and all of them bring more to the table than Butler.  I'm guessing a couple of those players will not be in the league next year either with another strong rookie class on the horizon.
