That is what I stated in another post. I had no issue with AJax in the Xavier game when he was 3-6 from 3 point land. If teams leave him that wide open and he takes those 3s by taking his time and shooting with confidence, meaning he follows through and doesn't short arm or rush the shot, that is a good thing (i.e. the clutch 3 pt shot he made against Nova was nice).

In retrospect, even though we all loved his step back 3 he made early in the second half vs Xavier it did more harm than good in the long run-obviously it's good in the moment making shots is better than missing them. But I think he got massively overconfident after than and started shooting way more 3s that were not of the wide open variety in the Xavier game and in the PC game-none of them were close to being on target. Calcaterra and Hawkins should have that level of green light from 3, but not AJax.

Newton definitely needs to step up. He needs to think about scoring a lot more, but not overcorrect to the point where he is neglecting passing altogether either-it's a balancing act.
