Outlook:
Size of a center or power forward, weight of a small forward, game of a shooting or off guard. Big player who shoots from outside the paint as good as from under the basket. Experienced player who has a quick release that is most often deadly. Runs the floor well and excels in the perimeter. Smart and solid post defender with decent shot blocking skills. Can rebound on the defensive end, and is a smart outlet passer. Very quick for a player his size. Can even hit from the 3-pointer, when not defended. Spectacular dunks. Definitely Joe is the top notch center of the Lebanese National Team.
