Utah Jazz: 3 players who disappointed this season

#2 Joe Ingles

Joe Ingles started in all 82 games this season.

The Australian did a great job of getting under the skin of opponents yet again, but failed to back it up with solid play on the offensive end. In over 31 minutes of playtime per game, Ingles could only manage 12.1 points and 5.7 assists per game on an uncharacteristic 39% shooting from beyond the arc.

“You try and work it out pretty quickly while the series is going on, but obviously I wasn’t really able to work it out quick enough and good enough,” admitted Ingles regarding his struggles in the Rockets series. “It still kind of kills me inside that I wasn’t able to help our team as much as I thought I should have.”

Well, he does have reason to regret. In the five first round games against the Rockets, Joe averaged a miserable 6.4 points per game on 27% conversion from deep. Considering the firepower Houston possess, this was surely not the effort Ingles' teammates expected from him in that period.

According to him,

"The playoff performance is going to stick with me for way too many months now. But I’ll go back and I’ll watch it and I’ll speak with Coach and then figure out the best way to attack it.”
