I would think that if Joe had done as well as Johnson, Delk, Strickland,
Williams or Brown he would have gotten some of their minutes at the 2 spot.

That said, I would think sitting in the locker room during a game instead of
sitting on the bench with your teammates would be enough reason to be kept
on the IR list over most anyone else.

Plus, as Gene said "Those who have it usually find a way to show it.", is a
true statement.  Time to show it.  We'll see how hard he worked in the "off
season".
