Josh is one of the most intriguing players on the team because he is one of the most talented and because he is a legit combo guard. Because of those two facts he will spend a lot of time on the floor even though this season he may not start games. However, also because of those two facts, even though he might not start, he will almost certainly have starter's minutes.
If J. T. is healthy this year, I expect Josh will spend more of his time at the 2 spot; but of course when he is at that spot we will have two point guards on the floor, which can be a real advantage.
Josh's game is good, but it is far from complete. He can be a lot better. First off, he needs to cut down on turvovers. (He led the team in them last year.) That probably comes from trying to do too much. True, he makes things happen, but they are not always the right things. Second, he needs to get to the line more. He was an 81% FT shooter last year and is a "make things happen" player, yet Ben Dillard shot half again as many FTs with considerably less minutes. Third, his shot selection needs to be better. Many fans laud him as "not afraid to take shots," but maybe a little healthy fear would do him some good. He shot 34% from the arc last season, but he can improve on that, and he needs to if he is going to play mainly at the 2.
