Joe Ingles, Utah Jazz
Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert are a dominant pairing, especially in the pick and roll, but their likely Western Conference opponents are good at switching schemes. While Mitchell is a decent 3-point shooter, opponents will be more than happy to let him fire away than drive into the paint.
Joe Ingles has been the team’s second leading assist man each of the past two years, and excelled in their first round series against the Thunder last year. His ability to can perimeter shots and guard opposing wings could swing a series.
If the Jazz are going to make some noise in the Western Conference, they’re going to need a great run from Joe Ingles.
