Joseph / Waiters

[Boozercrook]

I think it is interesting that our two leading offensive threats have such strikingly different styles. Joseph is like Moten in that he scores his points so quietly, while Dion's points are dramatic and memorable. Watching tonight's game, I felt like Dion had 25 and Joseph had 6, but sure enough Joseph outscored Dion. Am I the only one who gets fooled this way?

And one other thought - while Joseph is a starter / star / leading scorer now, the depth of this team and the number of scoring options on the team has, in a way, made Joseph's role similar to his role as a sixth man in 09-10. He can score in bursts and pick his spots, and, despite the pre-season expectations, he does not need to carry this team. It might be bad for his NBA prospects (which I personally don't see anyway), but it is good for this team.

K jo isnt sniffing the nba. Hes not a silent assassin like cj but he makes some noise with his dunks in transition and his catch and shoot shots from the 3. Dion on the other hand is a walking highlight reel, a entertainer.

I couldn't agree more with you 2. It's great how they compliment each other with their differing styles, as part of the nice balance the team seems to have as a whole. I just enjoyed seeing them all smiling so much today, and how opponents can't focus their D on the mythical go to guy the announcers say we lack.

Yes I very much agree. I too was quite shocked first when the announcer said Dion had 10. Then I was shocked again when I found out Kris was the leading scorer.

I am also glad to see Kris is shooting so well at the line. He is money up there now, almost like Brandon. Kris is up to almost 80%..
