Joe Ingles - Blazers Workout
Just read this small piece about Joe Ingles and his workout with the Portland Trailblazers, and thought people might want to have a look...
Joe Ingles (6'8" and 195, Guard/Forward, Australia) is on the cusp of being drafted. He shot the ball relatively well today but, as Sean Meagher pointed out, his 3 point form involves bringing the ball down to knee-level. Not the best look. He is a tall lefty with a goofy haircut so he is doomed to the "lesser skilled Troy Murphy" comparison. Buchanan said, "He's got a good feel for the game, good ball skills for a guy his size." Pritchard said, "Versatile, kind of a point forward. Can shoot the ball and we need shooting so he's in our target. Handles the ball a lot better, can be a little crafty, has a little Chris Mullin in him. Obviously Chris was a multi-year all-star... but Ingles was intriguing." But does "intriguing" get you drafted by the Blazers this year? Doubtful.
With the Blazers holding the #33, #38, #55, #56 picks in the 2nd round, I actually like Ingles chances of being picked by the Blazers and sent to Europe to develop his game.
Any thoughts?
