Not playing the same position as Andre, but some players in the NBA never seem to develop a jump shot. Like Ben Simmons, Andre Drummond, Mitchell Robinson.

More critical for a guard/wing player to have one, though. Even there, still some poor jump shooters in the NBA who are guards. I don't know if taking hundreds in practice day after day will make a difference. Even with that, some players make them in practice but it doesn't transfer over into the game.

Years ago, the Knicks had a player named Renaldo  Balkman with overall athleticism who couldn't shoot a jumper. His stats showed a good FG %, but not from outside shooting when I watched him play. He played about 8 years in the NBA and still plays as a professional basketball player for Mets de Guaynabo of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional in Puerto Rico.

So, will AJ ever develop one?

Time will tell. Still may not hinder his getting drafted at some point and contributing to an NBA team.
