On Jimmy Butler providing a more balanced attack by keeping opponents off balance

One would expect that the first set the Golden State Warriors would run involving Jimmy Butler would be something that got him into the low post — perhaps after setting a screen for him or him setting a screen for a teammate in order to coax a switch from a smaller defender. That would be the most common-sense approach to get him acclimated to the Warriors’ offense, while also keeping things simple and straightforward. Furthermore, the prospect of Butler scoring against a smaller defender would force the defense to have to react in a myriad of ways.
