Cory Joseph will be a solid back up for tony parker....now spurs needs a big?
He has size
He likes playing D
He is mature and has no at ude problems
He can shoot the NBA three
What in the world did the spurs see in this guy when they drafted him?
My major scoff factor about Corey declaring so early was that he lacks the athleticism to be an instant-impact type guy typical of successful 1-and-done players. He has a lot of room for improvement, and could have used at least one more year to polish his game.
He will definitely dominate the Toros.

I never even considered the possibility of the Spurs getting Joseph but the more I think about it, the more I'm understanding what the Spurs saw in him.
Particularly the maturity, at ude, and willingness to be coached aspect.
Pop is probably looking forward to working with the kid.
people, including me, thought GHill was a huge reach at the end of the first round and he got flipped for the 15th pick, Euro prospect, and another 2nd rounder so I'm reserving judgment and hope Joseph pans out...

Pop told Jeff McD and Old Man Monroe after the season he wanted a defensive
Cool. Can't wait to see all these young, talented guys not play next year.
like what if this guy turns out being like kobe bryant? :O
No opinion. I'll wait to see him play. Hope he will have the impact George Hill did.
i like him more than Hill, remind me Delonte West
most of who are mad at this are armchair college basketball analyzers
????
Does that mean you like West better than Hill? That's crazy talk, sonzzzz.
West is much better than Hill to me
Remember this?
I can't tell if you're serious or not. I can usually tell whether someone is or not.
Joseph has sneaky athleticism and some hops, he isn't elite athletically but he had some moments at UT where he exploded on someone. There was one facial dunk on Tech's Mike Singletary that comes to mind. I think he'll be mentally tougher than Hill and I don't think the playoffs will be too big for him like it is for Bonner.
So you think he might be as good as Parker?
Very interesting pick. I wonder if the Spurs had him pegged at #42 with Indiana's pick, but got nervous when Nolan Smith and Reggie Jackson got picked so high and pulled him earlier.
He has a lot of tools, the personality, and the potential to be an excellent pick. It should also be said Texas PGs have done well in the NBA.
Ford, Ivey, Augustin. But all played past their Freshman year. Cory didn't.
I'd also count Daniel Gibson.
Leaving after one year is hardly the kiss of death. Just means he needs more seasoning. He doesn't suddenly lose his talent, and it's not like Rick Barnes really develops players much, anyway.
Any freshman who holds his own in the Big 12 over 30 minutes a game is going to get the benefit of the doubt from me.
Speaking of TJ Ford -- I'm sure the Spurs are going to sign an insurance vet in case Joseph isn't ready -- better than Quinn?
corey was their guy at 29 even before they knew the traded... intersting
was hoping to get tj ford back in the deal, but isnt he on a massive contract for a player whose gettin outplayed by collison?
