A prospect who stood out during the Pumas Fall League, Joseph immediately stands out due to his length, rim protection and movement skills. Earning his first JUCO offer this week, Joseph is on an upward trajectory and looks ready to break out for Hilliard Darby this winter. Joseph has a ways to go offensively but he has the physical tools to finish at the rim and could eventually become a floor spacer with continued skill work. Joseph will be a name added to our 2027 rankings during the next update.

Joseph is arguably the top rim protector in the league, swatting away everything in his area in the paint. Joseph even had a block that went off the offensive players head after swatting it to give the ball back to his team. Joseph even stretched out to the perimeter to block 3-point shots, a true difference maker on the defensive end of the court. I’d expect big things this winter for Joseph as his rim protection is rare to find.

Joseph was a man amongst boys in the paint on Saturday morning as he dominated the interior on both ends of the court. Blocking at least five shots in the game I caught, Joseph was protecting the rim at a high level whether it was as a help-side rim protector or when players would try and take him off the dribble in isolation settings. With a major size and athleticism advantage on the court, Joseph had a big morning and looks like a potential breakout senior in central Ohio for small college and JUCO programs to take a look at.
