Saying he is the opposite of a shooter is a bit extreme don't you think? Shooting is his main NBA skill. Sure it's debatable but we only have one NBA season to judge that.
There is a big difference between a scorer and a shooter. RJ was a volume scorer in college that was pretty apparent when he came here and could nail the threes. You have to make shots for it to be considered a skill, which he did not. All this shooting myth was over one clutch shot in the NCAAs.
He is a career .30% shooter, Riddick is a career .412%. One can shoot at a high degree, Riddick. Who shot .444% in his second year. Riddick shots 5.6 three per game last year, even if one used per36 RJ shoots 5.6 the same amount but he would make less. This is true of FG as well, RJ shot 37% from the field to JJ's .48. Even if you take JJ as a young player he is till a better shooter. JJ is a superior FT too.

You can fool yourself, with your words but fact is one shoots 10% better than the other. He even takes more and makes more per game.
Even in college RJ shot 35% to JJ's .47, RJ shot 2.6 threes a game to Riddick 8.1,
