He basically has a shot at making more money than most of us will ever see in our lives if only he works hard enough. Maybe not a great chance, but some chance

Oh he definitely will. Whether or not he makes it in the NBA, a scoring guard like him would always find demand in various professional leagues around the world. He'll be fine. I actually think he'll have a journeyman's career in the NBA, which is nothing to sneeze at.

I actually think he'll have a journeyman's career in China, to be honest. He has not panned out as an NBA player but he's clearly got basketball talent.

He just seems really immature to me, like when he's on the court he's more about making Joe Young plays and not winning plays. The guy is 25 years old but based on how he carries himself seems more like a 19-year-old, still playing that little brother role at times. But, he does look quite young which also might be playing into the perception of him being younger than he actually is. For his sake, I hope he gets it figured out sooner than later because he has some talent, but seems a little in over his head at times.

He will get a training camp invite and have a shot to make a team next year. Most likely he will take the most money and play overseas.

100% chance because he's already made more than we will even if he never gets another contract. Nate has given him some meaningful minutes this year when the opponent is playing a small point guard. I expect that to continue if Joe takes advantage of the opportunity. he's been a monster in summer leagues but so far hasn't carried that forward into the season.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the dedication and the commitment.

I just don't think he is an NBA player.

A player who can score so easily in lesser leagues, should be able to score better in the NBA than he is doing right now IMO
Especially if you look at his work ethic. His playmaking and defense is another story.

Almost like he wants it too much and loses some of his ability when stepping on an NBA court.

He should have rolled out another bed for Domas. I heard Domad was sleeping in the park and making making (not taking) 500 shots every time he woke up ;)
Some dudes approached him while he was sleeping. But after they broke their baseball bats and woke Domas - they moved to Chicago.
Man, Indianapolis is becoming a dangerous city. 7 foot dudes sleeping on the benches, and even a baseball bats are useless.
