Ben Simmons ending his holdout and reporting to Philadelphia Monday stole the spotlight from the Sixers' preseason win over the Nets, but there was a lot to discuss regarding what happened on the court. Former second-round pick Isaiah Joe has been a key standout for the 76ers in the preseason and arguably had his best performance against Brooklyn.

With multiple players out due to various injuries, Joe was tasked with starting at point guard. This expanded role did not phase the young wing player, and he managed to dish three assists in his time initiating the offense. Most importantly, Joe continues to shoot the lights out from beyond the arc.

Through three preseason games, the 22-year-old is shooting an incredible 63.2% from deep on just over six attempts per game. In Monday's win over Brooklyn, Joe managed to rack up 20 points on just nine shot attempts, with 15 of those points came from made threes.

Multiple players have praised Isaiah Joe for the work he's put in on the court, most recently Joel Embiid. The All-Star center sees a bright future ahead for the young sharpshooter.

“Isaiah [Joe] is someone that I really think has a chance. You got someone that can handle the ball, can shoot the ball, defend. I think he's going to be in the league for a long time, and he's going to be really good, so that's something I'm excited about,” Joel Embiid said postgame.

The 2020 draft continues to look like a home run for Daryl Morey and the Sixers' scouting department. Not only did they land the steal of the night in Tyrese Maxey, but they also found potential rotation pieces late in the second round with Joe and Paul Reed.

Last season, it was Maxey who made it harder and harder for Doc Rivers not to play him more. This season, Isaiah Joe is shaping up to be that player. With how well he's performed in the preseason, it would be outrageous not to give him a chance to earn rotation minutes.

Joe has put in the work to grow his game in the offseason and should get an opportunity to be rewarded for it. Not only has he continued to be a deadeye shooter, but grown as a ballhandler as well. There have been multiple plays Joe has made thus far that he was incapable of doing last season. Mix those factors with good defensive fundamentals and IQ, and you have the makings of a reliable three-and-D wing player.

His style of play is exactly what Rivers is looking for, giving him a greater chance to see more playing time in year two. During training camp, Rivers said he wants the team getting more attempts up from three, and Joe has shown he can do that in bunches. His improved ballhandling also makes him a capable secondary initiator to pair alongside whoever ends up being the point guard for the second unit.

While it is only preseason and three-game sample size, Isaiah Joe has turned a lot of heads. Only time will tell if this hot streak lands him a spot in Rivers' rotation when the regular season kicks off next week.
