Called this in the game thread, it’s obviously more prominent now as he plays less minutes and it’s easier to dissect, but he’s been doing this from the first game he played here up until today. He needs to play strictly off the ball and I think even coach is starting to realize this as our freaking center was bringing the ball up in crunch time.
I keep hearing Joe is a headcase, but I don’t believe it, this is the player he is, his numbers are close to last year and slightly better. The free throws, he fell off quite a bit last year towards the end and is probably around the past quarter of the season percentage.
With Buddy at the 2 playing 35 minutes a game, there is no room for Joe here, his is a big black hole on the offensive and defensive side, we need a combo guard who can play the one and the two, it’s not Joe, too much risk, we saw what’s been happening at the beginning of every single game and then the end of the last game. We’re a mediocre to poor team when he plays and I think many issues stem to his playing time.
