On the bright side, he averaged almost one rebound per game!CJ only hit 32% from the 3 this year. Oof, we got lucky when he left.

Our three main guards go 32.8%/33.6%/33.9%, so not much difference. But if a guy doesn't want to be here, it's better that he goes. Next man in.CJ only hit 32% from the 3 this year. Oof, we got lucky when he left.

But Fran did start him ahead of Keegan Murray, ROTY candidate in NBA
Say what you want about Frederick but when he was here and not injured he was a stud.
CJ averaged over 46% from three while at Iowa.
Except he didnt play defense, rebound, block shots or create steals.
And averaged less then 2 three pointer a game, he was a good player but he was never a player that was going to lead Iowa to a big title. Him leaving was the best for him and Iowa.
Yeah, if your 3 point “specialist” is hitting less than 38% then you’re in trouble.
Really hard to say how much of his decline was injury or honestly maybe he just excelled better under Fran’s coaching.
They played different positions. What an odd question.
Guess I missed that game.
He was a good shooter, but he was indifferent towards defense and rebounding. So, kind of the perfect Fran player.
Agreed lucas. The whole way that went down was shady and it seemed to really anger Fran, who usually is very cordial towards those who decide to transfer.He was a good shooter, but he was indifferent towards defense and rebounding. So, kind of the perfect Fran player.
My issue with him leaving was that he clearly was not honest with the staff and his fellow players. If you aren't happy, work with the staff. If that doesn't work, you leave. No worries. In today's transfer landscape it's a common occurrence. The problem is CJ lied to people here.
Check out the Illinois game from Feb of 2020. Crunch time when Iowa was down, Iowa was running its offense through him.
Let’s hear how he lied!!!???!!He was a good shooter, but he was indifferent towards defense and rebounding. So, kind of the perfect Fran player.
