Toussaint has shot FTs much better than I anticipated, but he also hasn't had to shoot many clutch ones at this point. But as a half court player he isn't very impressive so far. He's been impressive in transition at finishing layups, but hasn't shown any more ability to break down a half court defense than Bohannon did. He just turns it over more when he gets too flashy (partly because his teammates aren't always ready for the ball so quickly at his pace). And he doesn't have a great pull up jumper like Gesell did to make up for not shooting 3s very well. He is good on defense though, which makes him more like Gesell and leads to more wins in the long run. I'd rather have a point guard average 8 points, 4 assists and play defense, then 12 points, 4 assists, and no defense. Joe doesn't have to score a lot of points to help the team succeed, three other guys can do the heavy lifting. Right now you don't know what you'll get from one game to the next, and the competition level seems to have less to do with that than playing to his own strengths. He'll be better next year, just hope they don't put him back on the bench and slow him back down, although that worked for Anthony Clemmons in the long run when he had a sophomore slump.
