Ahead of tonight’s Jazz game vs. the Denver Nuggets, Joe Ingles was asked at shootaround about the unique challenges inherent in playing a team that primarily runs its offense through its center, Nikola Jokic.
Ingles conceded it’s a bit unusual, but also said it’s becoming less so.
“Yeah — I think we’ve seen it more this year from other teams; obviously, we’ve played [the Nuggets], as well. Pick-and-pop bigs passing the ball back and forth, and letting bigs have the ball a lot more — a lot of teams are doing that,” he said. “I guess it’s different that Rudy and Fav will be on the ball more [defensively], but it doesn’t change what we do and how we’re gonna play.
