Playing more minutes this season allowed Ingles to make an impact on both ends, as he was a great three-and-D specialist. His active hands produced 1.2 steals per game, and he was fourth in the league in three-point shooting percentage. Ingles&#8217; third season was clearly a turning point for the Aussie. The all-around play of Ingles stood out against the Los Angeles Clippers in Utah&#8217;s first-round series victory in the playoffs, too.<\/p>\n<p>Going forward, Ingles will continue to be a second-unit facilitator in the pick-and-roll and pesky wing defender off the bench for Utah. Since he&#8217;s been in the association, Ingles has played the right way. He should continue to fit in well with the Jazz, regardless of whether or not they re-sign star small forward\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/h\/haywago01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gordon Hayward<\/a><\/strong>. The Jazz will trust Ingles to keep contributing on both ends in order to help them contend for homecourt advantage in the 2017-18 season.<\/p>\n<p>Ingles is going into his fourth season in the NBA, during which he&#8217;ll be 30 years old. Until this point, he&#8217;s played exclusively with the Jazz. It seems as though that will remain the case for years to come. Ingles played overseas before 2014 after going undrafted in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the LWOS 2017 NBA Free Agency Tracker for all of your NBA free agency coverage, and be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LastWordHoops?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">follow @LastWordHoops<\/a> on Twitter to stay up-to-date with the latest NBA news.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/592219310\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.666667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/592219310?et=bp95pbQ2S8Fj_TJzo8S1lw&amp;tld=ca&amp;viewMoreLink=off&amp;sig=7gvR6N3xgu1nhHSE0x8H4e3XmWkm6ofbasvUXVPEo2o=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Ingles agrees to re-sign with the Utah Jazz, on a new contract worth $52 million over four years, according to reports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1981,"featured_media":7416,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[24,62,3],"tags":[65,1002,96,297,202,144],"class_list":["post-7406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jazz","category-nba","category-news","tag-basketball","tag-joe-ingles","tag-nba","tag-nba-free-agency","tag-nba-news","tag-utah-jazz"],"modified_by":"Lior Kozai (Managing Editor)","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1981"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7406"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7406\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
