The Triple Team: Bruno Caboclo was the Jazz’s best player in Game 3, scoring 17 points, adding seven rebounds and three blocks to a +1 plus-minus.
I don’t love getting 22 points on 21 shots, but it’s an improvement. In particular, Butler got 15 threes off, and while he only made four of them, he still has that nice stepback three that he can generate nearly anytime he wants to. It’s a weapon in both pick and roll and isolation, and if he can shoot it at a high enough clip — much higher than the 32% he shot last year — then he can find ways to stay on the floor.
What I liked most about his game tonight was the playmaking. He did get off the ball more quickly in this contest. As the Grizzlies shifted to protect the paint, he was adept at finding the corner 3-point shooter on the weak side. Then, when the Grizzlies started to anticipate that pass, he was great at feinting it, then finding his big men down low.
All in all, it falls short of the efficient dominance that would be a really, really positive sign for Butler’s upcoming second year. But in this game, he showed off some tools he can build on for the week to come in Vegas.Caboclo made an impact in Wednesday’s Game 2, but was extremely up and down: for every big play he’d make, he’d commit a turnover or foul that negated his prior impact.
