BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues
ANALYSIS: It was all good news when Joe Ingles returned to a basketball court as early as last December after a long time recovering from injury. That was definitely way ahead of schedule, and Milwaukee has reaped the rewards of having the Aussie available sooner than expected, giving him more and more playing time each passing week as he gears up for when he will count the most: through the upcoming postseason run.
Ingles played just 21 MPG through January, then 23 MPG in February, and he's ramped up his efforts to a dose of 25 MPG this month (nine games played). In fact, Ingles has ramped up his playing time and his stats, as he's currently enjoying the best spell of games donning Bucks threads since he joined the organization a few months ago.
It's funny because Ingles is alternating average and great performances on a per-game basis. He's scored 12, six, 15, six, 14, and six points in his last six games through Sunday. Up and down, up and down, up and down.
Even then, though, Ingles is contributing double-digit points in March (10.5+ PPG) while also hitting a lot of three-point shots (2.8+ 3PM per game) on spot-up shooting duties while adding nice rebounding numbers (four RPG) and dishing out a fair amount of assists (3.7+ APG) to go with solid steals (0.8+ SPG) for someone on a limited/particular role.
Don't expect a huge volume of anything (he's hoisted more than nine shots just once through the year and it happened all the way back in January), but count on fantastic efficiency on a per-minute basis with contributions all across the board.
