Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1302846, member: 40"] True. Brandon was quite physically mature as a frosh and quite a bit stronger than Joseph is right now. He also wasn't much of a playmaker that year [didn't have to be on that squad], and was able to focus more on just playing defense and only scoring when he had to. I feel like Joseph has a little more on his plate due to the team being somewhat depleted, and he's just not up to the task now. However, this is the hand picked guy that JB and the staff wanted--I know he'll be very good in time, it just isn't going to be this year. Trust me--when this kid is an upperclassman, he'll be an impact player as a scorer / play maker, and we'll be happy that he got thrown into the deep end early on. He'll be like those uconn guards last year who were difference makers as a function of being so highly experienced--only better, smarter, classier, and better looking. [/QUOTE]
