I think that some of us (me included) at times forget that players must fulfill a particular role on the team when they first arrive. I have a tendency to expect more from our players, having watched them over the course of their collegiate career(s). The NBA is a tough environment where there are so many outstanding players, and it takes time to adjust to the play and speed, as well as fitting into their roles. Knowing that our guys are working their tails off to develop their game at this level is great to see. I believe that Joe will do well as he gets more time and experience. Good stuff.

I watched him play a ton against the Warriors the other night. He played well and got 20 minutes. He battled defensively...his teammates didn't find him enough when they were penetrating.

The big thing for Joe...he needs to hire a trainer and get stronger. He looks so lean against these guys at the NBA level. He needs to get bigger in the upper body so he can take the physicality.
