The Brooklyn Nets will called up forward Kris Joseph from their D-League affiliate, the Springfield Armor. The news, ironically enough, was broken by Joseph’s fellow Armor teammate Willie Reed, whose been on his own personal campaign over the last couple of months to get the big promotion:
Congrats to my bro @realkrisjo on his call up.. Well deserved. Good pick up Brooklyn

A four-year standout at Syracuse University, Joseph is a wing player who can shoot from deep. With the Armor this season, Joseph was putting up some excellent numbers; 19 PPG, 1.7 STLs, 80% FT, while shooting 43.8% from 3.
He will be the fourth rookie on the Nets this season and third international (Candian!) rookie. It is unknown exactly when Joseph will join the team.
