10) Joe Ingles Is the Glue Guy
Earlier this month, Jazz coach Quin Snyder called swingman Joe Ingles the glue of the team. Throughout his tenure in Utah, the Aussie has been called upon to do a variety of things, play multiple positions and help compensate for the loss of injured players. Needless to say, he has been equal to all tasks.
Although he’s currently playing less than 15 minutes per game, Ingles has been a leader on the floor, a ball mover and an effective jump shooter when he has played. For the year, Ingles is connecting on 58.1 percent of his shots overall and over 47 percent from distance.
After getting cut by the Los Angeles Clippers at the end of training camp last season, Slow-Mo Joe has carved out a niche for himself in the league and has been a guiding force for the Jazz.
