Yeah, his jumper is still only mediocre but I think he takes it primarily to keep teams honest and setup lanes to drive. I think even he still realizes that getting to the basket is by far his best scoring potential.

He occasionally does get hot early and falls in love with his jumper but he consistently dives to the basket 4 or 5 times a game because that's an automatic 10+ points.

I think most of the groaning though is towards the end of the game when you'd usually want Brad taking the high pressure jumpers rather than John... or John putting pressure on the defense and trying to get to the basket.
