Playing up in the 2026 division, Joel was one of the fastest guards in the division. He’s strong plays with the ball on a string and got to the paint with relative ease. He has a solid frame and sits down on the defense end, making it hard for other teams guards to get much going, definitely a solid two way guy to watch.
