Joe Ingles can help with Shooting
The primary reason teams pursue Joe Ingles is his exceptional shooting ability, which makes him an ideal fit for the needs of the Cavs team.
Ingles, the Australian sharpshooter, boasts a career three-point shooting percentage of 40% on nearly four and a half attempts per game. He has even averaged as many as six three-point attempts per game, with his lowest shooting percentage at 34.7%.
While there may be some questions regarding his long-term defensive capabilities due to his age and knee history, Ingles demonstrated his shooting prowess in the series against Miami. In the three games where he played at least 20 minutes, he attempted at least six three-pointers per game and made nine over that stretch.
Even in high-pressure situations, Ingles remains a prolific three-point shooter. His career average for playoff games stands at five three-point attempts per game while maintaining a 40% shooting percentage. And if there are any lingering doubts about Ingles’ shooting ability, it’s worth noting that he shot an impressive 53% on catch-and-shoot three-pointers in the recent playoffs.
His shooting consistency is unwavering, and the Cavs would greatly benefit from having a player like him to ignite their offense.
