He would have had almost zero impact last year. Joe, while he never exceeded expectations, was a very solid player over his career. It's too bad he will go down as one of the most unappreciated Tigers of all time.

RE: Why is Chris Jones not a Tiger?
He played terrible both times he faced the tigers last year. A lot of people around here were automatically hyping him as a great player before he actually played a game at the start of that season when really he played 'so-so' for the most part

It could have been the 5 kings with him

RE: Why is Chris Jones not a Tiger?
Because his grades kept him from qualifying for a NCAA D-1 scholarship when he left Melrose. Also his efforts to 'show us' how good a player he is by taking several ill advised shots for the Cardinals last year helped the Tigers to 2 wins over Louisville. I say we owe him a debt of gratitude.

You can attribute it to a number of things: lofty expectations, poor coaching, lack of desire, not having a go to scorer. I could go on and on. I wouldn't trade what Joe did here for four years. It's a shame that his teams shortcomings will fall upon him.

Surely you're not saying he looked good against us last season. Because that couldn't be further from the truth.
