Tre shoots off the dribble, but not nearly as efficiently. Carey can create in the post, but he needs someone to get him the ball. Joey can catch it on the wing and make something out of nothing, even with little time on the shot clock. That's valuable.
However, if Joey gets enough minutes to learn how to channel all that energy into something productive on the defensive end, I could see him becoming a serviceable, if not just plain good defender. He is pretty tall, has good length, and is probably more athletic than he gets credit for. He's just way, way too eager to contribute, which makes sense, considering he's somehow still the 10th guy to get in the game. He should already be the 7th man. He could start for this team if he ever calms down enough to play solid defense without fouling. He makes WAY better decisions on offense than AOC. He's willing to take his shot, even under pressure or off the dribble because he's confident. We needed a shot maker on this team, and Joey is starting to take over that role.
