Ingles, appropriately nicknamed “Slow Mo Joe”, makes up for what he lacks in athleticism through craftiness and three-point marksmanship. Though he started just 26 of the 82 games he appeared in last season, he earned himself a four-year, $52 million extension over the summer by being one of the most reliable cogs in the Jazz machine. His ability to play shooting guard through power forward at 6-foot-8 gave him plenty of opportunites to make an impact off the bench, as he posted 7.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals across 24.0 minutes per game. Ingles also shot 45.2 percent from the field and made 1.5 threes per game at a blistering-hot 44.1 percent clip. With Gordon Hayward no longer in the fold, Ingles will likely see an increased workload, possibly topping 30 minutes per game. The Jazz are very new-look heading into next season and it’s tough to tell how much the team will lean on Ingles, though it’s hard to imagine a scenario in which his usage rate and workload both decline. As a result, Ingles’ Fantasy stock will almost undoubtedly rise for the 2017-18 campaign. He doesn’t have much star potential, but has shown an ability to accumulate a nice grab bag of stats on a regular basis, making him a solid mid-tier Fantasy option.

Ingles is coming off an unexpected rookie season where he started in 32 games and ultimately averaged 21 minutes per outing after a total of 79 appearances for the Jazz. It took significant injuries to both Alec Burks (shoulder) and Rodney Hood (foot) for Ingles to join the starting five, but he excelled during his time on the court, which earned him a two-year contract in the offseason and leaves him with an outside shot of being one of coach Quin Snyder's five starters when the season starts anew this October. The newfound health of Burks and Hood could prevent that from manifesting, however, but Ingles helped the Jazz to a 16-16 record during the games where he started, which was a slight improvement since the Jazz ended the year at 38-44. Although, the Australian has seemingly more value as a glue guy than anything else, finishing his first year in the NBA with averages of just 5.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.1 blocks, and 0.9 three pointers. Looking ahead, he'll most likely defer to Burks and Gordon Hayward while competing for playing time with the likes of Rodney Hood and Elijah Millsap. Regardless of how the season shakes out for Ingles, he's lumped into that small handful of players who are an asset to the team but who don't provide much in the way of box score figures at the end of the night.
