As mentioned frequently on Pacers Media Day, Cory Joseph has played behind two star point guards during his time with the San Antonio Spurs and Toronto Raptors. Now in Indiana, Joseph has the chance to take off as the Pacers’ point guard of the future, even if he comes off the bench to start the season.
Darren Collison is likely going to open the year as Indiana’s starting point guard. He’s been solid throughout his whole career, and deserves it. However, don’t be surprised if the pesky Joseph plays his way into that starting role, especially if the Pacers lose a lot of games.
