Where are people seeing 41% from 3, ESPN says more like 32% this past year with slightly better marks the previous two. Not saying he'd be a bad add just that he wasn't that great from deep.
Quote from the article linked:
CBS analyst Doug Gottlieb told the Review-Journal that he overheard the locker room confrontation between Dejean-Jones and Kendrick.
“I was back in the bowels in the arena, and I heard some of the shouting and some of the shenanigans going on in the locker room,†Gottlieb, who called multiple UNLV games this season, told the newspaper. “I think Bryce was toxic. He was really hard to play with, but he needs a really strong personality as a coach, and Dave has to show that.â€
Fred is that coach!

Plus, we have the locker room and group of guys who know how to take criticism and take on responsibility. All year long I saw our guys getting after each other on the court. This team is full of leaders and Dejean Jones was a leader for a frustrating UNLV team this past year. I think his personality would fit in well.

Bring him to Ames. Even if he's had problems, he can't afford to have any at ISU. Unless he enjoys the bench.
