Those numbers are essentially what he was putting up at Marquette. I was led to believe that he was much better than that!
More points, more rebounds, better FG% (62% from two), all in fewer minutes. The only major stat lower for him is assists.
He didn’t say they’re identical. He said they’re basically the same, which they are. Given he had a full year to develop under one of the best coaches in the game, and is playing for a team that is having less success than Marquette was having with Joey, I doubt MSU fans are thrilled with a guy they thought was better than big bro and would be the best player on one of the best teams in the country.
I'm getting a real "peaked early" vibe from Joey. I am sure he will improve some, but I doubt we will see drastic improvement from here on out.
he'll still definitely end up wealthier than most of us were in his 20s whether here or Europe but yeah I agree. In the little I've seen he doesn't seem to have that next step.
i believe he still has a way to go yet. he hasn't put 2 solid seasons together yet
Good point. But then again any 6'10 guy who can put the ball on the floor, stretch it, post up, and rebounds above average will make good money somewhere for sure. He's definitely not the sure fire first rounder that people pegged him to be when he committed that's for sure
I also don’t think MSU fans expected all but two players on the roster to get COVID. He’s still #2 on the team in scoring (behind their top returner) and top rebounder by far. But the obsessed him to fail, so...
Sam and the Cavs had their first loss in league play tonight on the road against against a strong VA Tech squad. Sam with 10 -5 -1 stat line.
Joey 10 9 and 3 in The Spartans loss to Iowa tonight.
He made this big fuss about not getting enough touches and he goes to an arguably better program in MSU and has been stinking it up. Makes no sense. Then again, he is a kid.
My whole opinion of Joey has changed. Watching him ask Izzo "What do you want me to do?" after another turnover made me feel for him. Also, after his latest buzz cut, it turns out he has a bald spot. Lots of sympathy.
