Jim has always played favorites but usually it was deserved.  Guys that played their hearts out. Hustled and played balls to the wall night in night out. Joe is a shooter. Period end of story. An undersized player who has a gift in that he is deadly from about any place after half court. 
In the first half until about the last 3 minutes he played great. He was on his game but than he folded. With Joe there is a pattern.  Good plays multiply and unfortunately so do bad plays. When hes off he seems to disengage.  
If you watch his game closely it's apparent that he is a shooter and shooters want to shoot.  
It's what he is.  Its his gift.  Not being the primary ball handler.  Not distributing and certainly not playing lights out on D.
He's an ... shooter.  
A natural 2. 
Problem is thats Jims kids position and Jims kid is a dam good 2 and half a foot taller.  
The solution is Joe shouldn't be starting or Jimmy shouldn't be starting.  
I would replace Joe with Symir.  Bring Joe off the bench for Buddy and Symir depending on the opponent and game situation.  
Id also let Buddy sub for Jimmy or Cole again based on the opponent and game situation.  
If however i could only make 1 change it would be to play Symir more and Joe less.
