With more spacing and more passes coming in Mike Budenholzer’s new-look Milwaukee Bucks offense, John Henson should continue to find the looks close to the basket that he thrived on last year.
His ability last year to connect with Khris Middleton on alley-oops was a key part of his scoring. According to Eric Nehm in a piece for ESPN Milwaukee late last season, Middleton and Henson were the sixth most common alley-oop partners in the NBA as of March 27th.
Budenholzer has never been afraid to tinker with his offensive scheme, and his ability to put simple, subtle tweaks into actions that the entire NBA run should mean that he will be able to take advantage of Henson’s ability and catch radius around the basket.
