INTRODUCTION
Elijah Joiner is a versatile all-around player recruited by Coach Pitino for his final college year after spending four years at Tulsa. Together with teammates Tyson Jolly and Dylan Van Eyck from the Gaels’ 25-win season.
Elijah Joiner is a good handler with a knack for making decisive passes, but he can also effectively take it to the rim, relying more on strength than speed, which makes him susceptible to some naive charging fouls. Currently, his shooting is inconsistent, and the 29% on 4.5 attempts per game stands out with a red circle. He applies himself on defense, where he provides physicality on the perimeter, as well as quickness that makes him valuable in passing lanes and on the boards (averaging over 4 rebounds in the last two years, and just shy of 190 cm).
Elijah Joiner could be an interesting profile at a mid to low level or coming off the bench for something more significant.
