What? You just play him fewer minutes then. He thrives because he excels at playing with great players and they excel when they play with him. He won't get off good shots on the second unit and his skillset is basically wasted (spacing for who? passing to who? defending who?).
And the stud wing - and Mitchell - are options 1a and 1b, not to mention still running P&R and getting Rudy touches. That further decreases opportunities for Ingles. Besides, if you look at what's happening now with the injuries, Ingles is essentially the play maker when Donovan sits. He'd get plenty of opportunities on the 2nd unit. He and KK would be the main guys, with Dante (a non-scorer) at PG.
When are you going to drop this line of ********?
As soon as I see evidence to the contrary. Joe started off the season hot and has declined since. He either forgot how to shoot, is injured, or has tired legs, which affects anyone's shots. Or don't you believe fatigue plays a factor? If it doesn't, basketball should just adopt a baseball-like schedule, instead of trying to cut down on the number of back-to-backs for teams, and the 4 in 5 nights, etc.
He can play fewer minutes with the starters? It's like you're not listening. Joe is best when playing with Donovan and Rudy.
I'm not sure how true this is as I think he's been great on that bench unit when Exum was healthy and Ingles had secondary play maker role and Favs as the big guy just like he's great with Donovan while Ingles is the secondary play maker and Gobert as the big guy. But he's not the guy who should be the primary play maker for a team which he's had to been recently with Allen at point on that bench unit.
Ya Ingles has more assists to favors than anyone else. I think of favors more as a second unit player
But the player he assists the most is favors despite the fact that favors plays less minutes than DM and Rudy
