Jawai seemed to make the most of his opportunity to impress against an NBA team, compared with Jingles.
Ingles seems to have trouble carrying good Boomers form into his euro competition. obviously he is one of the stars on the boomers team compared with a loaded Barcelona, but you would think after his olympic performance he would start demanding more time and a bigger role with the team if he carried that form into barcelona. hopefully the rest of the season start to pick up for him.
----------------------------------
It's not really fair to compare them that way. Ingles is a point forward that when he has the ball needs to create something from himself or for others. He's also not that good of a shooter, so we will be used with the ball more than as a spot shooter.
Then you have to figure in that Barca has guys like Huertas, Navarro, Sada (didn't play in that game) and Jasikevicius that will all be handling the ball, so it's not like Ingles would handle the ball that much really.
Now compare it to Jawai. All Jawai has to don Barca's team is set a pick, then let Navarro, Huertas, Jasikevicius spoon feed him a wide open dunk or layup. All he really has to do is catch ball and lay it in or dunk it.
Of course Jawai is going to be able to flourish a lot more in a team that has such brilliant world elite pick and roll guards.
Ingles on the other hand, still has to be able to create and finish his own shots. He's got the created part down, and if you look at the game against the Mavs he destroyed ever defender they sent at him - it's just that he's not a good finisher. He still struggles to finish on a lot of his shots. That's the main problem.
I don't see that getting better until he matures more as a player. He has not yet learned how to pick and choose his sports. Look at how Navarro plays. He's a lot smaller and less athletic than Ingles, but he knows exactly when to choose his spots to try to score. Ingles just mindlessly plays with his physical tools.
If anything, Ingles plays basically like the average NBA player. With athleticism and no brains. That's basically his problem.
Jawai has already made good strides on defense. He was getting owned on defense in earlier games. But Barca's coach DEMANDS you play defense or you sit on the bench. I think Jawai must have gotten that message because he is trying on defense now.
But the point is that it's not really fair to compare Ingles and Jawai's situations on that team, as all Jawai has to do is finish easy shots off the creation of his guards in the pick and roll.
