The Warriors really want to win the championship, butler averaged 18 points per game is far from enough! Please release the wildness of the offensive end

Today, there are fans who think that it is a failure to exchange for Butler for the Warriors management. After all, in their eyes, this player averaged only 1.79 points per game in the 30 regular season games he played for the Warriors last season, but he won a big contract of more than $110 million in two years, which is a bit unreasonable.

Objectively speaking, if we look at the score output alone, Butler is not much better than Wiggins. But its value is not only that. After all, the Warriors management is making a living, and their professional abilities are unquestionable. As an ordinary fan, how convincing is it to look at the choices of professionals with our limited perspective?

Although there are many people who can play in the first half of last season, Curry is the only one who starts the offense, which leads to the Warriors' offense being obviously not as smooth as before when the superstar rests. Furthermore, players such as Payton Jr., Li Kaile have relatively average shooting abilities and are very unstable. Therefore, the Warriors management won Butler not only because they were attracted by his ability to hold the ball, but also because of their defense and organizational connection skills, which is the second starting point for the starting point of the ball-holding offense besides Curry.

After Butler, in the second half of the regular season, the Warriors scored the league first record in the same stage. The role players Boger, Moody, Post and Hilde were obviously activated, and the Warriors' offense was more three-dimensional, and they no longer rely solely on Curry.

Therefore, in addition to covering Wiggins' previous value, Butler's value lies in organizing in series with the ball to make his teammates more comfortable to play, which is something Wiggins cannot do.

Considering that he was once the core star of the Heat and led a group of role players to perform unprecedentedly in the 2023 playoffs, the Warriors management still needs to maximize Butler's value; therefore, the hoarding of scorers is very important, which is also the team's goal for the offseason.

When Curry is on the court, the Warriors can previously let Green and Rooney have two inside players who have no shooting at the same time, but Butler does not have "Current" after all, and his ball-holding attack still takes up space; you can't take the team after Curry is off the court, and when Butler leads the team independently, he will have a lineup like Payton Jr., Green, and Kumingga, he will be useless in the heroes. Under such a configuration, it is a bit unreasonable to blame Butler for losing his deterrent power by holding the ball.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Warriors will soon sign space-type inside Horford, 3D defender Melton, former player Payton Jr. and Curry Jr. In this way, the Warriors will win three excellent shooters, and they are likely to play more games with Butler in the new season. With the growth of Boger, Moody and Post, the strength of the Warriors' role players is expected to improve, and Butler's passes will be more valuable.

Perhaps, the whole nation is in the regular season, and the Warriors' offense is enough; but the playoffs are ultimately the stage for superstars. This team cannot rely on Curry alone to hold the ball, but also have a second stable scoring point. Of course, if he gives enough ball rights, Kumingga will still have a chance to average more than 18 points per game; but whether he can continue to stay with the Warriors is still a big question, after all, his playing style is incompatible with the Warriors' passing system.

In addition, Curry will be one year older, and if he wants to maintain his offensive output last season, no one can guarantee this; so if the Warriors want to win another championship, Butler's average of 18 points per game is far from enough.

With the blessing of the shooter teammates, Butler has to release his wildness on the offensive end and increase his average score to about 22 points. In this way, Curry will have less pressure on his shoulders and can also reduce his risk of injury.

But no matter what, the Warriors' number one scorer must be named Ku, and the average score per game in the new season will be around 20. Only by maintaining such output can it stand out in the fiercely competitive West and the Warriors championship can become a reality again.
