Last season for the Jazz, Ingles averaged 12.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 5.7 assists while shooting 44.8 percent from the field, 39.1 percent from beyond the arc and 70.7 percent from the free-throw line.
Ingles started all 82 games last season, but the Jazz will likely move Royce O’Neale into the starting lineup this season since he’s the better defender. What we do know is that Utah is going to start Mike Conley, Donovan Mitchell, Bojan Bogdanovic and Rudy Gobert.
With Conley and Bogdanovic in the mix, many believe the Jazz can compete for a championship this season. We’ll see if Utah is able to live up to those expectations.
Ingles will likely close games even though he's not starting. He's one of the best 3-point shooters in the NBA.
The Jazz won 50 games last season. They lost to the Houston Rockets in the first round of the playoffs. The Jazz will have to battle with the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Rockets and Denver Nuggets for the top seed in the West.
