I get all the “microwave” talk about Joe coming off the bench...but I think he is smart enough to realize that won’t work for a few reasons. To be a “microwave” guy means to come in and immediately start making shots (probably 3’s) which means he would have to come in for Buddy at the 2. Say Joe comes in and goes 0-2 in his first minute or two, Buddy is coming back in. Say he goes 1-2, 1-3, or even 2-3 from deep in a few minutes, Buddy is probably coming back in (after all he has played 35+ minutes for two years now). And if he spells Kadary for a few minutes it will not be his job to start launching 3’s. Not to mention it is just flat out hard to come off the bench cold and start draining shots!

When Joe has been pulled it has been for turnovers, poor shot selection and poor defense. It's not been because he was missing good looks. Joe prefers to be on the ball. He needs to build out his skill sets as a driver to beat his man when crowded. Buddy has figured this out and Joe needs to do the same. Joe also needs to get better off the ball. He doesn't do a great job finding shots off the ball unless he is stepping in from the top 1/3 of the key.

What Joe did vs Clemson was much more what he needs to do on both ends. As he adds more to his game as a driver ( including a floater) he will be able to earn himself more space from defenders.
 
I hope Joe stays. He is a solid combo who is a leader. You dont average 50 a game and win football championships at QB without being a leader. He needs to work his arse off to get quicker. His physical limitations can be mitigated by his game IQ and pure grit. He feeds off the crowds energy and with them back next year i expect Joe to be back and better.

100%

Not to mention the only time the word microwave and Joe should be in the same sentence should be when it’s talk of him putting pizza rolls into one.

You also don’t score 50 a game in high school without being a chucker.
