Joe Toussaint

Couldn't get the video to play, but I trust Joe to show a ton of improvement this season. He was really coming on at the end of last season, doesn't lack for confidence and seems to have the drive to succeed. Just hope we're going to have a season this year.
If he is hitting 15-20 foot jumpers while being able to get to the bucket and dishing out dimes, we could be unstoppable.
His shot really started to come around in the last 1/3 of the season. His free throw shooting looked very good.....the future is very bright for the Hawks and he is a solid part of that bright future.
Love his game. Look for a big jump from him in year 2
And that thread is still about half way down on the first page with Joe T’s name clearly in the subject line.
Joe T is going to be a hell of a guard before he leaves Iowa. He's so quick that even a respectable jump shot will result in some broken ankles, and a lot of defenders lost in no man's land between doubling down or coming up to defend the shot.
I had trouble with a lot of videos playing recently. Finally found a post that said to delete your cache in the browser. It worked for me. Over half the twitter videos wouldn't play before!
Probably the best blend of quickness and strength since Woolridge, who was a streaky outside shooter also. But teams just couldn't stop him from getting inside and his strength gave him such great balance.
I noticed Joe's jumper doesn't have a lot of lift to it, and his release is just normal speed (unlike Bohannon's). It makes me think given his size it could limit him to mostly wide open jumpers but not really contested jumpers like Bohannon often shoots. But as long as he is accurate if you have to close out on him you are toast because he's so good at getting around you once you've given him a crack to exploit. Needs to work on his shots in the paint - runners, floaters - as he'll get a ton of chances if he can hit them.

Joe was a ton of fun to watch last year and his game had elements we have not seen for some time. He’s tough and has a chip on his shoulder driving him to get better. I have no doubt he will come back improved from hard work.
I was really impressed with his willingness to rebound at his size. He’d been down on the block battling for defensive boards against big men.
if we can keep everyone in the fold between Joe, CJ, Ulis and Perkins that could be really exciting the next couple of years.

He's 6 as advertised. People who attended last years preseason events noted how solid he is especially for a freshman.
Joe has almost instantly become a fav. His Freshman dip was almost a speed bump. Really looking forward to next year.
Looking forward to seeing Joe carve up defenses.
Saw Joe tonight with Patrick. Joe had a Cheeseburger with fries, not sure about Patrick. I told Randy to give Patrick triple cheese. Not sure if he was amused or not.
I would presume they were at Monica's and the Randy would be Larson?
Tell me what I've won!
I thought Toussaint really changed the effort level of the team when he came in after the Western Illinois run in the second half.
Hopefully, Joe settles down as he did last night and doesn’t force things too much. Outside of a couple TOs, JT had a very good game.
JB has been not good. He’s not hitting open shots and his D is porous. He has to have one of those to be seeing extended minutes. Hopefully the shots start falling as I don’t have any confidence on his D.
Loved the Daviyon Nixon move JT did on that drive to the basket last night. Left the defender in a statuesque mode.
