Can Joe Ingles or Chris Goulding of OZ hang on an NBA roster?

[poido123]

Ingles a solid all-round player with length and handles.

Goulding a 3pt sniper and good at finding his shot.


Surely these guys are good enough for the NBA? I've watched a lot of these guys play and I could see them at least as serviceable bench players.

What do you guys think?

[Grinder]

Ingles? Yes. He'll most likely be on a roster by opening night. Grizzlies tried to sign him last year.

Goulding? No and probably never excluding a few 10 day contracts.

I'm wondering if Bairstow might put in a good word to the Bulls about Ingles. He would be a good fit on the Bulls IMO.


So not high on Goulding. Fair enough, he is a bit of a one trick pony, but the league does demand good 3pt shooters and there are currently guys getting contracts on that skill alone.

Spurs were looking into him too. He'd be a great depth signing. He can play high level defence at the sf position and is a decent 3pt shooter/slasher.

Ingles should be in the NBA he's like Prince (when he was decent (with more playmaking/scoring and less defence), Goulding not so much but. Aside from Ingles/Bayes/Exum no one on that Australia team is really a NBA player maybe Jawai as a 4th big man other than that none of them.

Never liked jawai's game(gets lost on D a lot), but I do like your comparison of prince. Both lefties funny enough :applause:

Goulding is an undersized two and from what I saw in Summer League, really struggles to defend athletic wing players.

He'd fit well there. Seems to be a great locker room guy too.

Brock Motum is a decent player and could carve out a few years in the NBA. Watched him a fair bit in college and his game can translate to the next level.

Totally forgot about him.

Stretch big who Has a 3 pt shot, can put the ball on the floor and can rebound.

Very unique skill set.

I believe he's signed by the Jazz? Can anyone confirm this?

Forgot about Brock your right

Ingles should have been on a team a couple of years ago. Not sure why teams won't sign him but I guess it's the same stigma that was attached to Dellavedova being an awkward looking white guy. He's shown that he can contribute though so hopefully people have another look at Ingles.

A lot of international talent gets overlooked.

Perhaps there is a stigma that players who don't come through the college system or had previous NBA experience will often struggle in the NBA.
