Joe Ingles

I'm now in full-support of making him a starter. He needs to play with a roll man and another creator that passes the basketball. His skills are being wasted in the second unit. He should be playing the first and last six minutes of each half.

Joe's shooting is kind of an enigma for me. His first couple years he shot decent (35.6%) and then good (38.6%), but despite that I wasn't regarding him as a great three point shooter. I think this is mostly because he was often shooting open, wasn't shooting them much, was passing up a lot of shots, and probably most importantly he would miss badly. Good shooters usually miss pretty close, but it seemed like Joe would miss all over the place when he would miss. So I feel like I was a bit late to the "I expect Joe to make this every time he shoots" club and it probably wasn't until two years ago that I expected that, despite the numbers probably suggesting I should have earlier. He shot 2 years of 44% and I was a believer. Then he shot really poorly to start the season and played catchup all last year. Ended with a really good percentage, though, of 39.1%, but it took away a small amount of the magic. Enough that with how poorly he's shot this year, I'm cringing every time he's putting one up.

He needs a rhythm. He needs to start. Let's end this crap.
 
Joe Ingles is as valuable as any current Jazz player on our roster! Even though his 3 point shooting has slipped, he is excellent in every other facet of basketball and irritates the heck out of whomever he's covering at any given time!

Yeah it's a lot more cringey this season. I'm surprised now when he makes one.
