Really the only thing I see that would keep Joe out of the NBA is his lack of speed to match that of most NBA guards. I think he has all the other tools. Maybe some other team will pick him up and give him a shot.

That is too bad but hopefully he will make it back. The Lakers had a deep bench last year so maybe he can play for Oklahoma or someone without the same talent base.
