Joe Ingles Appreciation Thread

If we could sign only one of these players: A) George Hill, B) Joe Ingles...

I would pick Joe Ingles, even if we can get George Hill on a reasonable contract.. I think Ingles is just beginning to realize his potential. I love his versatility on both offense and defense. I love how he impacts everyone's game. When he steps on the floor, everyone gets more effective. I love the Ingles/Hayward Alleys...

I don't know what kind of contract Ingles is going to require. I think he is probably getting in the $15M range himself. Even if we could get Hill at $20M/year, which aint gonna happen. I would rather have Ingles at $15.

Look if I could give both max contracts to Ingles I would but the rules don't allow that... yet... my guess is there becomes a joe Ingles exception in the new CBA.
 
Ingles will get 8-12 per year... he's restricted and the market is much tighter this year than last. Middle market guys won't get as much though there will be an outlier here and there.

We are better on the floor with Ingles in the starting lineup than Hood. He's the perfect in between wing on offense, either shoots the three or makes the right pass/drive decision,and now that he playing great defense he's quite the asset.

Also he's a straight badass who will cut you... can't underate that.

Per the LAC fanboard, "Ingles looks like a he's been in college too long and is sick of partying every weekend"

Go Joe Go!!! Love ingles on the floor. I love it when he gives Hayward that eye contact and Hayward gets that backdoor pass for the alley.

I thought maybe some people would find this interesting. A saw an interview with Joe a little while ago and he mentions that his favourite player of all time is Brett Maher, an Adelaide 36ers(Joe's hometown team) legend. I was curious about this man I've never heard of and I wanted to see what kind of a player he was and if Joe perhaps modeled his own game on his at all. Well, lo and behold.

The deadly shooting, quick hands on defense, deceptive speed, and the ability to make accurate passes between 2-3 defenders. Maher also seems to be right handed but heavily use his left hand or a natural lefty who shoots jumpers right handed. Obviously, the level of basketball in Australia isn't super high, and Joe is a much better player than the man he grew up idolizing(how many other NBA players can say that?), but you can certainly see the influence.

Brett Maher was predominately a jumpshooter, he was only about 6-2 i think, sweet shooting but not much of a distributor for a point guard. Joe is so much better a player and his game not particularly like Mahers. I don't think his game translated that well internationally when he played for the boomers, too slow for his size. Awesome dude tho.
 
I used to hate Ingles when he first landed with the Jazz. But I gotta say, he's proven to be a very smart player and clearly he can shoot the lights out in a gym. Sometimes I do wish he'd shoot more though, he gives up too many good looks in my opinion.

Patience and reason are always key when considering a player new to the team.
 
I wouldn't want to pay more than $6-8mil/yr.

Apparently a 'glue' guy in the locker room, so who knows what price the FO places on that...

Chandler ****ing Parsons stands to earn 23 million next season. He's one year younger than Joe in terms of actual age and about 10 years older in terms of the shape his body is in. Putting up similar numbers to Joe on pathetic efficiency.
 
I appreciate Jingles, in fact I'd gladly let him adopt me into his cute little family, take me on vacation to beautiful Australia so I can spot a Hemsworth, and I'll even tolerate his dad jokes. He's the dad I've never had, but always wanted.
