On the offensive end…
Henry Baddley is not a major offensive threat. He rarely asserts himself on that end of the floor and is not going to be a top-scoring reserve for Butler during this coming season. Over the course of 2018-19, Baddley exhibited the lowest usage rate of any player in Butler’s main rotation at just 14.4%. He is mostly relegated to spot-up duty offensively and therefore his perimeter shooting will be key.
Baddley shot 46.5% from beyond the arc on 43 total attempts as a sophomore while emerging as a legit perimeter threat. Upon receiving a bit more defensive attention and increasing his volume last season, though, he tumbled down to 30.0% on 70 3PA. This percentage drop was definitely concerning considering his main offensive contribution is perimeter shooting, but he did maintain solid free throw shooting.
In order for Baddley to be a major impact player on the offensive end, he will need to put together a strong shooting season. He will likely see ~15 minutes per game this season and that is enough time for him to shoot ~60 3-pointers for the year. That is not an incredibly high volume but making 35% of those shots would really prove his worth in the rotation.
This is due to the fact that Baddley’s impact is mainly felt on the defensive end of the floor. The first key for him offensively is to draw defensive attention and help open the lane for drives and post-ups. That can only occur with consistent shooting, even if not on high volume. If he is able to do that, then his impact will be quite positive overall.
