All he needs to do is put a little more effort into moving without the ball. I don't know if he needs to drive the ball to the hole as much as some of you want but as long as he can keep his defender honest, that will open up space for Curry, Rivers, and maybe most importantly, our bigs. It's not the worst thing to go back door once or twice a game.
-It's not even that JJ took more difficult shots in his Soph. campaign, it's that JJ took almost 200 more shots than Andre did. Then you start to take into account that JJ was the focal part of the offense (which benefits him in touches) but also hurts him because the opposition's game plan is to stop him (or in most cases, slow him down)
So aside from the idea that their shots look quite similar, I think these JJ-Andre comparisons are useless.
