Kris Joseph was a forward at Syracuse University.
Joseph started his freshman year as one of the main reserves rotated into each game. He showed the ability to cut to the hoop, and provide some speed when needed, and even started two games when Paul Harris was injured. However, when Syracuse started playing the tougher teams in the Big East, Joseph's rebounding totals dropped significantly, and his playing time suffered for the remainder of the season.
Joseph emerged as a star sixth man his sophomore season. Though he came off the bench, he would play 'starters minutes' with about 27 minutes a game. His slashing style driving to the hoop made him a valuable offensive option anytime he entered the game, and he provided solid rebounding and defense along with the occasional spectacular dunk, allowing big men Rick Jackson and Arinze Onuaku to take breaks in the game. Joseph was recognized as the Big East Sixth Man of the Year.
Syracuse fans had big expectations for Joseph his junior season, now that he was going to be the focus of the offense. He would lead the team in scoring, but he did struggle most of the season. Joseph had a sore knee which kept him from exploding to the basket, and without Wes Johnson and Andy Rautins to draw defenders and open up the lane, Joseph found defenses very hard to beat. Joseph did improve his three point shooting.
