Joe’s NBA Career

Joe was the 49th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft out of Arkansas.

He spent his first two years playing for the Philadelphia 76ers.

However, the 26-year-old played a limited role during his tenure.

With OKC, Joe has become a very reliable role player.

He has shot at least 40.9% from three-point range in each of his first four years with the franchise.

His career averages are 8.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists per contest while shooting 43.6% from the field and 40.6% from three-point range in 392 games.

Last season, Joe helped the Thunder win their first NBA Championship.
