Joe Alexander
6'8 SF, West Virginia. Well needless to say, I am not going to get into his numbers or anything, but basically in his last six games he has been averaging about 25+ points per game in the Big East. Watching him today against UConn, he is destroying Jeff Adrien. I don't really have a comparison for him but his even keeled demeanor as an offensive player is impressive.
I think he stays another year at WVU, but in 2009, you're looking at a lottery pick. He already has 15 points at halftime against UConn.

Re: Joe Alexander
Joe had 34 points against UConn and dunked all over 6'9 jumping jack Stanley Robinson. This guy is serious.

Re: Joe Alexander
He has my attention. The way he played today was awsome, I see him being a lotto pick next year easily.

Re: Joe Alexander
I went to high school with him in Beijing, China. He was really good back in ninth grade, but I never thought he would develop into a player as good as he is now. We played pick up ball every lunch time. His brothers were actually the stars of our basketball team.
EDIT: Coincidentally enough, after one year of high school there I came to the States and in my school I met Andrew Bynum whom I played with every other night in the gym.

Re: Joe Alexander
The only problem I see is that we likely won't be able to see how well he guards the perimeter. Unless Kevin Jones and Roscoe Davis are able to come in as Freshman and play major minutes on the interior, Joe is still going to have spend a lot of time inside for WVU next season.
We do know that after another season under Huggins, he is going to be very strong, well schooled on defense and mentally tough.

Re: Joe Alexander
This man is a scorer but efficient at it. No Adam Morrison or Wayne Ellington here. Just a stone cold chiller out there.

Re: Joe Alexander
Nothing wrong with Ellington, but he won't do much on the pro level. Joe's demeanor is a site to behold to. He plays like it's a rec league game. Almost no emotion while he's killing you out there.

Re: Joe Alexander
He's really increased his production in a short amount of time. I'd like to see him come back and work on his outside shot, which is pretty poor.
