Not 100% sure when Damien Jefferson felt “right” post-injury, but if my time frame is close then he’s shooting 39.1% from 3 “when healthy” in his career at Creighton:

- 13/29 over first 16 games in 2018-19
- 6/22 over last 18 games in 2019-20
- 8/18 through 7 games this season

It’s not just the 3-point shooting either. Again, there is a speculative element to this, but the data at least aligns with the eye test:

Healthy at CU (41 games):
10.3 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 59.2% FG, 39.1% 3FG

Hobbled at CU (22 games):
4.7 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 42.2% FG, 17.2% 3FG

Creighton’s plus/minus leaders
1. Mitch Ballock: +112
2. Damien Jefferson: +106
3. Marcus Zegarowski: +81
4. Denzel Mahoney: +79
5. Shereef Mitchell: +72

Jefferson is the only player who hasn’t finished a game in the red this season.
