I'm sure Joe is a great locker room guy and has a great understanding of the game. But he got extended minutes last year and wasn't really a good knockdown shooter, and is really limited offensively/defensively. He was serviceable for us by necessity because of his bball IQ and ability to keep the ball moving in Quin's offense. But as Hood got back from injury and started to emerge, Ingles' minutes dipped drastically. I honestly doubt he gets much, if any, playing time this season if we're fully healthy.

Isn't that the whole idea of a deep reserve? When you have a 4th or 5th wing, which is what Ingles is/was, the idea is that they are good enough to fill in for injured players but then slip back out of the rotation when players come back. Jazz had Burks and Hood out for a good chunk of the season. Ingles did a competent job, especially the latter half of the year. Unless you have a rookie on a cheap contract or a vet chasing a championship, I doubt you find a top quality player to be content with 10-15 mins/per and a bunch of DNP's.
 
Whether or not Lyels was the right pick remains to be seen. Anyone making definitive statements about that one way or another is not only an idiot, but also a dumbass.
