Hot Take: Frederick Cannot Shoot

[TheJackal]

Maybe Iowa played on 8 ft goals when he shot there…this guy is wide open and can’t hit a barn!!

 

[BlueBomb]

He shoots great. But he’s just not so good at making them right now.

He can shoot, that's apparent. I'm wanting him to start making some though.

 

[wildcat1515]

Him and Wallace

 

[UK-Chulo]

Kid can barely stay on his feet. Must be vertigo.

 

[TheJackal]

He should be hitting wide open 3’s in his sleep.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

All great shooters go thru slumps.

 

[WildKatFan01]

What about Wallace? He hasn’t even hit one yet.

 

[Fat-so]

It's not just CJ. It's all of them. These rims seem tight as hell. No give at all when it hits the rim. They can shoot though.

 

[HenryMuto]

Career 44% 3 point shooter he will be just fine

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

... at UK.

 

[CB3UK]

We need makers not shooters

 

[WallMash]

yep, the bigger the game the smaller the rim for Fredrick.

 

[RoyKent]

Career 44% 3 point shooter he will be just fine

When? Season is more than half over.

 

[numberonedad]

They can ALL shoot until they get to Lexington, for some reason

 

[TheJackal]

Crazy to think about
These guys only job is to shoot
Shoot all day
Shoot in your sleep

And they can’t hit anything

Wide Open

Rims rarely seem to affect visiting teams

Naw it's odd how it works. . We've had some damn good looks today... Great looks, and shots you gotta make if you expect to win.

 

[BlueThunderstruck]

What he has done in the past with another team is irrelevant.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Dude says: Fredrick cannot shoot

Then he says: Fredrick should be able to hit them in his sleep.

 

[1STSergeant]

Bullsh..

 

[HerrosHeroes]

... at UK.

And other places, cmon man. Thats 3 SEC wins in a row and I dont see Vandy beating us either.
Time to lay off Cal for a while.

Everybody has an off day. Get lost troll.

It's all in his head, he's just gotta shoot his way out of it.

That 15 footer late buried the Aggies as did his FTs.

 

[Yardeth]

I will take my chances with this kid shooting. Give him those looks every game and see if he continues to miss them.

 

[anon1751545683]

Just like Master many years ago, Fredrick has to be guarded at all times. So he helps the team even if missing.

He’s gonna make them over time.

Hate on him. Hate on Cal.

But UK carries on. Even wig bandwagon fans.

 

[EliteBlue]

-He’s 37% from 3 on the season.
-41% overall.
-88% from the FT line.

He’s been on a cold streak the last couple games but 37% from deep is still considered good. I expect as we continue to play a more spread out lineup more of those looks will start to go and he will end the season around 38.5-39%

40%+ is elite. Since 1987 we’ve only had 12 guys shoot above 40% for a career. http://www.bigbluehistory.net/bb/Statistics/career3ptfieldgoalpercent.html

Also of note:

As cold as Wallace has been the last 3 games he is currently 4th overall (career not single season) since 1987 at 41.7%. It helps that Wallace typically only shoots uncontested 3s and isn’t a volume shooter.

Reeves is 20th overall

CJ is 35th as of today.

 

[shano]

Correct

 

[BBallin23]

Reeves is this teams best shooter so far.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

CJ now at 35.1% on the season. Teams better hope he stays that way. I bet once his finger gets better that number goes back up.

 

[bbnkat02]

CJ had a couple of key shots today. That one where he faked out his man was huge.

 

[Cats192]

Someone said he has a finger injury and has it taped up.

Just my thought on it: Fredrick is a spot up shooter, not a 3 pt. scorer per se. But his presence still helps spread the floor, and he has to be on the floor. Fredrick has always been a role player hitting 1 or 2 3pt. shots a game. He needs to be pretty open and stationary (i.e., spot up shooter) rather than running off screens, step-backs, taking his man of the dribble, etc. (i.e., a 3pt. scorer).

Um, wasn’t his first made 3 a step back? At Iowa he hit a lot more than just spot up 3’s.

Guy’s wearing a splint on his shooting hand, but so many on here bashing his shooting.
