This isn’t true. He has been a knockdown shooter in games. Sure his percentage went down during B10 play but that doesn’t he wasn’t that for at least part of the year.
He was the #1 three point shooter in the nation in the non-con.
The problem was that once the conference play started and the opponent D could sag off of the others, AJ couldn't get the openings he needed to continue to score. If we have more offensive from others, we'll get more from AJ as well.
Draining threes against East Nowhere State is one thing. If you want to call him a knockdown shooter, he needs to do it in conference play. Last season, he absolutely killed it in the nonconfence portion of the schedule, but in conference play, he hit his threes at a rate of 32.6%. That is not enough if your game is built around the three-ball, and it certainly isn't "knockdown."
