Karaban is a known shooter. So he will not get better because you don’t like his stroke? Same with Alleyne.Glad he got those 3 down. Our starters were 3 of 18. It doesn't really seem like anyone but Newton has good form on their 3s, so I'm not sure we'll see improvement from anyone but Newton.
Good shooter, poor defender so far
Seems like a solid role player. Active and may hit some 3s. Can't ask for much more.When we struggled early he was able to find the basket. If this was opening night, the BY would be saying that Joey C is going to be a big contributor. Good to see him knock down a couple of treys.
I saw you in the chat room. I guess you weren't the one to give a like to the comment that he should be "stapled to the bench"?Doing exactly what he was recruited to do and performing exactly like he was expected to perform.
Nah Alleyne D will keep him in over Joey in conference play.Alleyne has to start making some 3s or Joey C is going to be coming for his minutes once Hawkins and Jackson are back.

Some call him Joey California, I’ll call him Joey Chestnut! Great to see him having fun out there tonight
Alleyne shot 39% on 4.4 3 pointers per game over three full seasons in the ACC. I think maybe you're overreacting a bit to three games to start the season.Alleyne has to start making some 3s or Joey C is going to be coming for his minutes once Hawkins and Jackson are back.

I didn't say he couldnt shoot better, just that he has to, because Joey C is. Alleyne is missing 4 or 5 completely wide open 3s a game at this point.Alleyne shot 39% on 4.4 3 pointers per game over three full seasons in the ACC.

I don’t know what you were watching but guys were going by Joey C like he was a turnstile. His D is horrendous. We may need his shooting a game or two down the road but no way he gets consistent burn with his complete lack of defensive skills.No question Joey’s D is weak and Alleyne is an above average defender.
But in this game hotel California played better defense than Diarra. He was a spark plug off the bench and brought energy to a team that was stagnant. Any time there was a court huddle he was the player pulling in his teammates and directing them. And the players appear to respect him. His court leadership/coaching/energy is a valuable asset when Andre is not in the game.
