Games last night for AJC are two fold. It’s great when he’s on from deep. However, it’s also games like this that lead to him taking more 3PA’s than 2PA’s. According to his BBR page, AJC leads the MAC in 2P FG% at 66%. Even with that, he’s still averaging 8 3PA a game in comparison to just 5 2PA a game.
What gets me is a couple of possessions in each game where a defensive switch leads to a smaller (much smaller last night) player on AJC and AJC doesn't take advantage of the mismatch. Case in point was early in the game yesterday when, instead of backing his defender down for an easy look, he threw out to Hadaway, who missed the 3-pt attempt. When he does attack the smaller defender, which he did once or twice later in the game, helps pad his high 2P FG%.
Speaking of mismatches, there was a 2nd-half fastbreak for AP where their 5-8 frosh took it to AJC, resulting in perhaps the easiest block in AJC's career.
On another note, AJC had way too many lazy, unfocused passes, leading to 6 turnovers. I guess it's easy to lose focus in games like last night.
