Wichita State’s instant-spacing vet with a shooter’s edge
In the 2024-25 season at Wichita State, AJ McGinnis was a low-usage but useful floor-spacer, appearing in 34 games and averaging 3.8 points while shooting 34.8% from three and 81.8% at the line.[7] He came to the Shockers with a proven shooter’s reputation after making 77 threes at 39.7% at Lipscomb in the 2023-24 season, and outlets noted his value is simple but real: he stretches defenses, plays with veteran poise, and gives a team a reliable catch-and-shoot guard who can change the geometry of the court.[2][13]
