He does show an impressive ability to get his shot off the dribble, too, even if it’s not as efficient. Butler senses where the defender will want to help and pops out so far from the hoop that his defender can’t recover. But because he was able to shoot off the move - coming off screens, popping out from the inside, relocating to the open spot - he was able to get off a lot of catch-and-shoot shots anyway. Because Butler was one of the best players in the country, he naturally got a lot of defensive attention. He’s not just a stand-in-the-corner type shooter, though. Oh, wow, those are really incredible stats! You can easily imagine him fitting into the Jazz’s offense in this role alone: just knocking down the open shots that are provided for him as Mike Conley (presumably) and Donovan Mitchell drive towards the basket and force the defense to collapse. Butler shot 48% on 3-point shots 25 feet or more from the rim.Butler actually shot a higher percentage on the catch-and-shoot threes that weren’t wide open: 53%.Butler shot 51% on catch-and-shoot threes last year.Jared Butler shot 42% from three last year, on eight attempts per 40 minutes.
Look, I’m just going to list a number of stats here, which I reacted to in approximately Vince MacMahon meme fashion, and expect you to do the same. So what are the strengths and weaknesses of Butler’s game, and what might the Baylor Bears star bring to the Jazz next season? Let’s break it down.
