Joe Ingles, Forward (2015-present)
Teams: Utah Jazz
Career best stat line: 11.5 points, 4.8 assists, 4.1 rebounds (2017-18)
Playing overseas for several years as well as being cut by the Clippers during training camp, in 2014, it’s safe to say that Ingles has proven plenty of gms wrong.
In 2018, of last season’s playoffs, he did a great job guarding Paul George in the first round and so far this season he is averaging 11.7 points a game and shooting 37 percent from 3-point range.
Kris Middleton, Guard/Forward (2013-present)
Teams: Milwaukee Bucks, Detroit Pistons
Career best stat line: 20.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4 assists, 47% FG (2017-18)
Quietly having one of his best seasons, arguably at an all-star level, Middleton’s production has been solid for years, but he’s had the blessing and the curse of playing alongside a great player, in Giannis. As a result, its led to Middleton living in his shadow and never receiving the praise he deserves. A dilemma Scottie Pippen can relate to.
