“I can go out there, trash talk and shoot some 3-pts”. In one sentence, Joe Ingles summed up perfectly what he will bring to the Bucks from Monday night against the Pelicans.
He will indeed sign his return to competition, almost a year after his rupture of a cruciate ligament in his left knee. On January 30, the day of his injury, he was then a Jazz player. From now on, he will defend the colors of the Bucks.
“He’s just a good basketball player,” launches Mike Budenholzer for The Athletic. “His passes are probably the thing that impresses me the most. We always need 3-point shooters, players who can put in at different times. So his outside shot will really help us. He is an intelligent player, tough on pain, a nervous defender. »
Joe Ingles brings experience and cohesion
As well as a big mouth, which never hesitates to open it. Milwaukee players have noticed him since he arrived in their locker room.
” Since the first day “announces Khris Middleton when asked when he noticed this character trait. “He never shuts up, he talks all the time, even when he’s wrong and I love it”, continues Jrue Holiday. “Probably when I was playing him in Utah,” says Brook Lopez. “He talks on the pitch, even when he’s on the bench. »
This barker profile appeals to the Bucks coach, already well endowed with a Bobby Portis for example. Not only to wake players up if needed, but also for group camaraderie.
“In the NBA, at the beginning or in the middle of a season, we always need players who can talk, talk to the opponent or to the coaches. He will bring his voice, his energy. He integrated into the locker room, he developed friendships, relationships even before being on the floor. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that from a player who hasn’t played yet. Usually it happens on the court. »
