Right now, he is competing for the starting point guard position. Being 6-6 and long, he can really give us a different look for a few minutes of the game at the point guard spot. Joe has a great attitude and is working really hard. Joe has a tendency to be a great leader and role model off the court. On the court I need him to relax a little and be that same type of person." |
