Henry shot 3 three point attempts per game compared to 10 two point attempts per game.  He also averaged 10 rebounds per game, over 2 of them on the offensive end.  He wasn't spending a ton of time on the perimeter missing threes.  The problem was Duane was the only player who averaged over one made 3 pointer per game.  We didn't have any shooters that could stretch the floor and let Henry go to work without the entire defense collapsing on him, especially with him and Luke on the floor together a ton.

6 players shot almost all of our 3s on that team:

JJJ            25/65   38.5%
Carter       27/70   31.4%
Cohen       27/76   35.5%
Cheatham 29/75   38.7%
D Wilson   54/156 34.6%

Henry       30/104 28.8%

He was our worst 3 point shooter taking the second most 3 point shots. And while he was out on the perimeter he couldn't do what he was elite at - rebounding. He had 147 more defensive rebounds than Luke yet 29 less on the offensive end.

Bad shooter/great rebounder. We would have been better off with him down low more and on the perimeter less - obviously.

I think that was totally a play for the future. The team around him was average at best, an odd mix of parts unlikely to make the tournament anyway, and getting a one & done guy through the program early on provided more credibility when targeting high level players like Garcia. In my opinion, with the Garcia commit it paid off. Now we need to turn Garcia et al into some high level on-court success with the much-improved teammates he'll be playing with. That's the next hurdle Wojo needs to clear, then I think recruiting will really take off, which is exciting to think about. Gotta win first though.

+1.  Exactly right.
