Both Josephs Kris and Maurice should be a lock for Team Canada for years to come, Montreal is producing some good bball players, Joel Anthony, Pierre Marie Altidor Cespedes, Will Archambault, etc..

Syracuse's big man are among the best in the NCAA and Joseph is an integral part of that unit. Been watching him all year and he bailed out the team many times this year. Look forward to more of Kris in the future

joseph brother can really ball, this guy from srycuse looks talented, never seen a canadian display that type of skill set, real impressive

anybody who does it well all Syracuse will a long pro basketball career in the nba or europe,

Bray88 really appreciates the posts on canadian basketball, especially the Score stuff about basketball being on the brink in Canada, really enjoyed that

I dunno about that. Look at Gerry McNamara, he was one of the most prolific big shot makers in Cuse history and couldn't find a place in Europe or the NBA only to be an assistant coach with cuse at the moment.

Being a big time NCAA player doesn't guarentee you much. Where do you see Andy Rautins after this season?

Some people are projecting Rautins to go late first round or early second round.

Haven't seen Kris Joseph play much though, does he have an NBA game?

Dark Knight

From what I've seen (the casual highlights on the Score), he looks like a beast, and if he could keep it up, he could be an NBA player. No doubt he'll improve our Canadian Team.

Rautins has a fantastic shot and he is a really really smart player. His decision making is fantatic but he can't drive at all and when you get him out of his comfort zone (ie setting up for a shot or playmaking) he is a wreck. Personally I don't think he has an NBA game but guys like Andy sometimes find a specialty in the NBA and stick but its rare. I see him as a 2nd rounder at best. Oh and Andy's defense well you can't really judge a college players defense especially if he plays at Cuse with the 2-3 zone mainly played there.

As for Kris Joseph, he can't even crack the starting 5 for syracuse how do u expect him to make the nba. He is stepping up HUGE for the orange as Wes Johnson has been sore of late. I couldn't believe him sinking 3s when the team really needed it. He has been a great bench player for the team and the Cuse wouldn't be ranked #4 if he wasnt' on the team.

However; college is so much different than the NBA. If any player is gonna make any impact whatsoever that is on Syracuse it'll be Wes Johnson. I could name of ton of GREAT college players that did nothing in the nba. Mateen Cleaves and John Wallace are just two right on the top of my head.

Kris Joseph was clutch for SU's win over Georgetown, no doubt in my mind he is a legit NBA prospect.
