Ari couldn't play defense or do anything but shoot spot up threes his freshman year either. He shot 37% from the field and did little else. His three stopped falling his soph year (must have been his hate for Buzz) and he became completely worthless.
CJ doesn't seem like he particularly cares to play for [Redacted] this year either. His body language isn't the greatest most of the time.
seriously, what a joke. Ari was universally (on these boards) considered a legit NBA prospect after his freshman year. i just checked youtube and came across this, which was fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs2a8Q8SPPw
added bonus - it looks like dino actually called a play to get Ari his first three in this clip. and the second of those threes actually looks like it is by design. the third one is probably a bad shot (too deep), but it went in and was against UNC, so who am i to judge.
this one was nice too:

also nice, but more for the ish vision:

I am almost 100 % certain that Deman did a preseason rundown on the whole team last year and touted Ari's NBA potential. He didn't do that with any of the other players. Isle is correct that he was very highly thought of on te boards.

Sounds exactly like an NBA player.

I wish Kels would come back to coaching, come back to Wake, and rescue us from this abyss.
