July 25th, 2008, Las Vegas, NV. In the semi-finals of the Las Vegas Main Event, the Salt Lake Metro AAU program faced the Texas D-1 All Stars. Joel, in this game, wearing the number 14 on the black team, finished with a personal tournament high 17 points on 6/9 shooting including 3/5 from behind the 3-point line, in a losing effort. Almost more impressive was his 8 assists to only 2 turnovers. He also finished with 7 steals and 3 rebounds. One college coach following the game commented that Joel showed he is a "high IQ player who plays well with talent around him. That is fairly uncommon for a player from a small school."
