As for him being inconsistent, lets break down his season
1) As of last April, Joe had zero post moves and absolutely horrible foot work
2) As the season started, Joe was still learning a completely new position and how to play in the post while the entire WVU team was learning how to play a different offensive system
3) He suffered a significant groin injury that severely limited his effectiveness
4) He got healthy, he improved his post game and the WVU team started to get what Huggins wanted them to do.

This is not the case of someone getting hot at the right time. Rather it is the result of a very methodical progression.
