Just seems odd to compare Joe to any of those guys who are complete players, and frankly not even in the same stratosphere. Joe's strong suit is his speed and defense. Jbo's strong suit is his shooting, and taking care of the ball. It's pretty apparent, that Fran favors that right now. If we could take both of their assets, we'd have a really damn good PG. Joe needs more than 4 MPG, I agree, but when we are ahead by double digits for most of the game, on the road, against Wisconsin, I'm also fine with Fran not messing with what was working.
On Joe's basket, Wisconsin let him drive down the lane and take an 8 foot jumper. He just stood there and they backed up to guard other people. It was bizarre to watch. That tells you all you need to know on what other teams think of Joe right now. As long as he keeps hitting it like he did, he should play more. He had that amazing pass to Pat, then turned around and dribbled it out of bounds. This completely sums up Joe right now.
