you did that deep of a study?? Please provide a link. That'll be the first "study" in your career on JFC. I can't wait.
I wish i knew where to find it. Since i dont i will do a real quick list of 4th wings (like ingles) and 4th bigs (like booker) of those teams.
Guys to compare to ingles: (to be fair to the study im going off when a team is totally healthy) Gerald green (a decent improvement), tim hardaway jr (similar experience and help with winning games to ingles imo), james young (ingles might be the better and more experienced player), micheal kidd gilchrist (about the same as ingles? Should be better but really has not been), kyle singler (about the same as ingles), jamal crawford (the best of the bunch probably. The clipps are pretty deep at the wing), gerald henderson (a small upgrade), rodney stuckey (pretty decent upgrade), Stanley johnson (pretty good upgrade with less experience than ingles), lance stephenson (they have vince carter, tony allen, matt barnes and lance... pretty damn deep), corey brewer (a little bit of an upgrade.
Dallas is a hard one to say. They have d-will and devin harris listed as shooting guards which makes the wing depth look good (4th wing would be devin harris in that case) i think they are pointguards (4th wing would be justin anderson or jeremy evans who they have listed as a sf... ingles is better than both imo)
The only really significant upgrade to ingles of all those playoff rosters is jamaal crawford who shot 40% from the field and 34% from the field. (ingles was 43% and 39%) Stanley johnson (a rookie), lance stephenson, and rodney stuckey might be a decent upgrade. But most of those guys suck or never play or both.
As for 4th bigs (booker or lyles) we have: amare stoudamire (pretty good upgrade), kris humphries (i will take our guy), jonas jerebko (i like our guys better but can see jerebko being better), tyler hansboro (i like our guys better), nick collison (small upgrade to our guys), cole aldrich (with the exception of the one game against us, i like our guys better lol), ed davis (upgrade to book, but i would rather have lyles), sala mejri (i like our guys better), jordan hill (i like our guys better), aaron baynes (close but i take our guys), birdman (i would rather have book or lyles), terrence jones (clear upgrade.)
After having it laid out like that its clear that there is room for upgrades. However i believe that 90% of those guys dont tip the scales basically at all to the point of making the jazz much better than lyles, booker, and ingles do.

..... Not a lot of guys moving the needle there and guys like stanley johnson were draft picks and not the type of guys you can acquire. I also didn't take into account for chemistry issues, locker room issues (lance stephenson), salaries in comparison to joe ingles, etc.
Still I definately see some upgrades there so you have a good point. terrence jones, amare stoudamire, jamaal crawford, stanley johnson, lance stephenson, gerald green and a few more are upgrades to our guys.
Im not going to look up minutes played by all those players but i would bet that booker and ingles had to play more than most of these guys due to our injuries. Ideally none of these guys on any of these teams should see much court time.
