Expert Analysis
Tony Roe | Prep Hoops Scout
Joens is an electric shooting threat who can bury four or five 3s on you in the blink of an eye, but what stood out the most about his play on Saturday against Drive Pro Select was his improvement as a ball-handler and shot creator off the bounce. His shot will always be the biggest threat in his game, but improving his confidence as a ball-handler opens up many other facets – other levels of scoring, more opportunities to create for his teammates, and it’ll make defenders have to respect his drive, freeing up more space for his jumper.
