Kentucky guard CJ Fredrick has established himself as one of the top 3-point shooters in all of college basketball — if not the best overall. Transferring from Iowa last offseason, the 6-foot-4 native of Cincinnati, OH entered the year as the nation’s leading returner in career 3-point field-goal percentage (46.6%) with a minimum of 150 attempts. This past season alone, he knocked down 47.4% from three on 2.8 attempts per contest — he hit 46.1% on 4.1 attempts per game the year before.
Injuries prevented Fredrick from making his debut in a Kentucky uniform, missing the entire 2021-22 season after undergoing hamstring surgery in November.
