Among qualifying players, who was Xavier’s leader in two-point field goal percentage? Obviously it was JP; it would be weird to mention it in his preview otherwise. That underscores Macura’s magic though: his .617 FG% at the rim trailed only James and Jalen, and he led the team in shooting percentage on two-point jumpers. Throw in an 80% mark from the stripe, the team’s best TO%, and weirdly effective offensive rebounding, and Macura was Xavier’s most efficient offensive player last year.
There are a couple of challenges this year, the most immediate being whether or not JP will be immediately eligible after losing track of his waistband in public.
