Joseph left a lasting first impression at the McDonald’s Texas Invitational and to show me it wasn’t a mirage, she has given me that #THROWBACK effort from another era which used to be prevalent so let me start with this. She’s under “the magic number”, yet she plays above it see evaluations here and seeing her to continue to elevate her game shows me what’s coming

Joseph has been in front of me 3 times, and they have a saying, “the third time is a charm” but they have countless sayings that mean absolutely nothing to me because I knew what I was looking at the first time I saw her, because “she’s a monster in the paint.” see evaluations here

Joseph sold me at the McDonald’s Texas Invitational and at the first Houston United tryout, she showed me I wasn’t seeing a mirage see evaluations here and folks, it only takes me a few minutes to know what’s what and where they could head and her #THROWBACK mindset is just something you can’t teach as she’s powerful inside the paint yet can show finesse off the dribble and drop the FLOATA. Her turnaround jumper was a problem, she ignites the break and beats players down the floor yet her multiple fakes inside the paint as well as “on the ball” defense had me sweating

Joseph gave me a preview at theMcDonald’s Texas Invitational back in November,see evaluation here, and it didn’t click until I put her name in the search bar. She falls into so many categories.” plays taller than she is, and will not be outworked.” comes to mind, yet her intensity on both ends stays high as she never takes a play off, and seeing her go AFTA everything off the rim as well as loose balls got me going

Joseph falls into that “never takes a play off” group, and by going AFTA everything off the rim on both ends had me smiling. She also dives for loose battles and plays solid defense, both inside and outside the paint. I love her upside as she showed a solid skill set, and seeing her finish strongly after contact was another plus
