Utah will be happy they invested in Ingles. The man is paying major dividends. 12pts in small time today and getting a lot of trust from coach!

If his 3 ball is stead this year he could stick in the league for a few years.
Plays good D, Passes well & can handle the ball a bit.

I came across this article last week, really good read re Jingles' worth to Utah.

The summary was that although he is a great defender, he needs to up everything else otherwise it's difficult to justify 15-20 minutes per game.
Honestly I don't think Ingles is much chance of being cut this season. He's there as a mate for Exum to protect their investment in him.
Motum was going to play a smiliar role until Ingles became available.

Plus, he's cheap. What is he on, $600,000 or so? Experienced player in Europe/Australia/international ball, can help mentor younger players, compatriot for Exum. For that price, if he can play 15-20 mins a game - especially a blowout where they rest their starters - they'll keep him.
Notice that he's inbounded the ball twice in game-winning scenarios - his experience would be extremely valuable in those kind of scenarios to teach the younger players.

seems pretty good, and 145 cameras recording exum's moves also good
He's certainly playing better than exum who seems to be getting worse as each game passes. Exum will be in the 20% shooting range soon with no assists or rebounds either.

Playing 15-20 mins & only getting $600k? Most guys would be on 3 year $3 -$5 mill a year?
His agent needs to get to work...
