Ingles is a great role player who can act as a "connector" to the team. He can do anything on the offensive end because he's a capable passer and shooter.
Despite Ingles' versatility, it seems likely that the Jazz may eventually trade him. ESPN's Zach Lowe recently revealed that the Jazz striker is "a name to watch before the trade deadline."
Zacklow said Ingles' defensive ability is declining and that "his organisational offense doesn't feel that important" because players like Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley play a lot of time.
"Ingalls is a name to keep an eye on deal deadlines; a lot of competitor executives want to know what chips the Jazz want to trade with Ingles and first-round picks. Ingles' contract was about to expire and the Jazz wanted to send him away
His defense is no longer so tight. He only had 14 free throws in his entire season. He's a very good passer, but his assists (3.5) drops and his organisational abilities aren't as important as they used to be, as Mitchell, Conley and Clarkson all get a lot of playing time. Quinn Snyder will also try to make Rudy Guy play a bigger role. ”
In the NBA, Ingles also has a certain role and value. With his contract about to expire, his annual salary is $14 million, which will also make him a bit sought-after. Of course, if the Utah Jazz decide to keep Ingles, that would be fine.
Last season, the Jazz were one of the best teams in the league, but they stopped in the second round of the playoffs. This season, the Jazz have played equally well, currently in third place in the high-priced West. The Jazz want to go further, and they seem to want to make a change as well.
This season, Ingles averaged eight points, three rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.
