Joe Ingles is a top 30 player this season

[mudsak]

Here's another interesting thing about Ingles... He's the (seemingly) least athletic guy on the roster... but has been by far the most durable player on the team for the past few seasons. This roster has been like a set of delicate ceramic tea cups over the past couple of seasons but Ingles is made of of nails.

Top 30 last year, top 5 this year. HoF next.

Ingles can only be an "elite role player" because he plays next to elite players, on a very good overall team.

Put him on the Suns and he would be unknown, like TJ Warren. There would be no threads about top 30 or even top 100.

People underestimate situation. There are a lot of guys who in the perfect situation would draw a lot of positive attention but are currently never discussed.

What is this? Joe's improvement in the last year was a product of Utah being desperate to replace some of what they lost in Haywood. He's a much better player now that he is no longer playing next to such a player. Utah told him he needed to do more and he responded greatly. Utah had to become a worse team in order to find out Joe's true capabilities.

So pretty much the opposite of what you are trying to say.

Mirotic is a dark horse for MVP have you seen his averages? 33/10 61%FG 60%3P

I looooove Joe Ingles. Had to pour out some liquor when I traded him from my fantasy team yesterday

I hope u got a good return, ingles is gonna be a problem this yr.

Sent from my SM-N950W using RealGM mobile app

I really needed a big man that could shoot FTs well and block some shots, so I got Aldridge for Ingles + Teague + Steven Adams

Bit of an overpay but I think it will be worth it

Great. You've just jinxed him.

Not surprising that a more athletic guy would be more subject to injury. Run faster, jump higher, land harder, more likely to get hurt.

Nope. If they weren't a playoff team, no one would talk about Ingles. You could replace him with a number of lesser known SF's and they'd still be a playoff team.

Again, if he played on the Suns, there'd be no top 30 thread.

That doesn't mean he's not good. I'm just saying the hype is in large part due to the situation he is in. That's not to even mention how ridiculous it is to say he's top 30 to begin with.

I think OP was actually half joking but Utah fans came in and ran with it.
