A guy of his caliber should be dominating those schools, at least this is what I've been led to believe by the likes of Chad Ford. His percentages are downright awful, but I'm not sure what kind of coverages he's seeing, maybe he's getting double and triple teamed, which might explain the poor shooting numbers.
Well, I haven't seen footage from the Rhode Island game, but here he is against Colorado struggling from the field.
Spoiler:
There's a few things I noticed about him. First, he seems completely content living and dying from beyond the arc. His first four shots in this game were all threes (1/4). After that he puts the ball on the floor twice and gets to the line both times (once off of a cut). Then he goes back to happily hucking threes, and mixes in some more air balls.
It's clear to me that he has a slow first step and can't necessarily blow by defenders, but he isn't really strong enough to use his size either.
Even in a game where he plays well, like the (game below). Notice he isn't putting the ball on the floor at all. Absolutely everything is coming off of the catch and shoot, he isn't creating anything for himself. He's knocking down his open looks though, and mixing in more action from the elbow.
