Ingles back in the NBL 2009/10?

I think people underestimate Ingles ability. He developed significantly last year, just in areas he was deficient in, so you didnt see a big spike in his scoring etc. He has had the advantage of playing in a significantly higher standard competition than most of the other draft class, and a league that requires far more reading of the game than college, and that has shown through in the reports of his workouts thus far. However, as someone pointed out, Joe isnt particularly mentally tough, and gets down on himself when he misses shots or gets beaten, and that is a big no-no in the cut-throat environment of draft camps/workouts. No doubt Joe has the ability to be a second round pick, but an average camp in Italy might hurt him.

Let's be honest with ingles limited athleticism and strength he is going to need some super skills in other areas to be drafted AND actually play in the NBA. He needs to shoot the lights out or have an unbelievable handle or be an amazing passer. Unfortunately he isn't really any of these.

If you put yourself in the shoes of an NBA exec why would you draft him? He isn't young compared to other prospects, and his game hasn't developed over the last couple of years. He just doesn't seem to have much upside. Many people say you just picked him and he plays in europe for a couple of years and develops. Do you really think he is going to develop, wouldn't he have developed more from 20 to 22? Why will he develop from 22 - 24. I just don't see it happening. If i'm a GM and i'm picking early second round i'm looking for someone that has slipped from the first round that may be able to contribute straight away. If there isn't anyone i'm picking an 18 - 19 year old european that has upside and I can leave over their for 3 -5 years and bring over 21 - 25 yr old bracket.

I think it is a bit of a wate of time talking about Joe in relation to this. Anyway the NBA isn't the be all and end all. He may be able to make more money in europe like david anderson. There is nothing wrong with that.

Love your insight and view LA Boy. Find your recent posts to be informative and very good reads.

Although in some areas I may disagree am always interested to hear what you say.

I'm still hoping he gets drafted - as I said in another thread, it would be great to get two South Aussies drafted within a couple of years.

Unfortunately for him, after getting scouts enthusiastic about him during the physicals/ workouts in the US, he apparently shot poorly at the Reebok camp in Italy and lost a bit of confidence. According to Draft Express that has hurt his stock.

So he's got some work to do in the next few weeks, but if he can do some good individual workouts, he might still convince a team to use a late 2nd rounder on him.

Isaac you are right, its this year or bust for him. Got my fingers crossed - it would be good for Aussie basketball if he can get drafted and then go to Europe like Newley to get some more experience. Even the D League would help him develop a lot I think.
