Yes.  Scoop was erratic as a freshman.  He sat a year and then was great off the bench as a 3rd year Soph. And while he played his share of PG, he either had Triche or Rautins to share it with - so his role was basically to be a spark plug off the bench and he was quite good at it.

Junior year, it was much more his show to run as the starting PG...and he was pretty erratic in terms of shot selection IMO.

His senior year (5th year) he was a steady hand who could run the show and hit big shots when needed and he had a great year.

I think Joe would thrive as a spark plug 3rd guard at this point...and I think he’ll be quite good as a veteran guard.  He’s smaller than Scoop and probably won’t ever have that pull up and pop from 15 game, but he’s a better overall shooter IMO.  Neither were especially explosive, but both have/had solid handles and can get where they want to go.

IMO both are/were actually pretty savvy ballplayers with a lot of moxie(yes I used savvy AND moxie in the same sentence - don’t @ me), but sometimes can’t help themselves and decide to play hero ball.  Scoop curbed that his senior year, I think Joe will curb it too.

Should be noted that Scoop possibly had the most talented post 1990 SU team that we’ve had to play with.  He was a part of that talent.  I think a veteran Joe would be great with guys like Fair, MCW, Dion, Joseph, Melo, Christmas, Southerland, and Triche to help him out too.
