Joe Ingles Calls Himself Best Shooter in the League: 'They're All Gonna Go In'

Utah Jazz small forward Joe Ingles isn't lacking confidence. 

Ingles called himself the "best shooter in the league" Tuesday after recording 24 points in a preseason game against the Toronto Raptors, and he reasserted that claim Friday, as seen in the following video courtesy of Eric Woodyard of the Deseret News:

Ingles explained Friday that he believes he'll make the shot every time the ball leaves his hands:

"The numbers I've shot, the percentages, they obviously are what they are and people are going to dissect everything but, I honestly feel like they're all going to go in when I shoot the ball.

"When I feel like it's my shot within the flow of the offense and getting in any rhythm, I feel like I should make every one of them. That's why it pisses me off so much in practice when I miss open shots because I feel like I should make them."

Ingles is coming off a career year, as he averaged 11.5 points, 4.8 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game last season, while shooting 46.7 percent from the field and 44.0 percent from three-point range.

The 31-year-old Aussie is set to enter his fifth NBA season, all of which have been spent with the Jazz.

While Ingles was primarily a bench player in his first three campaigns, the lefty-shooting marksman made 81 starts in 2017-18.

Ingles ranked 10th in the NBA last season with 204 three-point field goals made. He was also fourth in three-point shooting percentage behind only Indiana Pacers guard Darren Collison, Detroit Piston forward Reggie Bullock and Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter.

His career three-point shooting percentage of 41.6 percent ranks 14th on the all-time list as well, and fifth among active players.

Ingles is in line to start and serve as Utah's chief floor-spacer once again this season, opening things up for the likes of guard Donovan Mitchell and center Rudy Gobert.
