2. 3-Point Shooting
Though it’s not yet polished and solidified as a strength, there’s little question about whether or not Damien Inglis can shoot. He has the range and release point to be one of the more productive 3-point shooters in the NBA D-League.
If Inglis’ quality shooting continues from the 2015-16 D-League season into 2016-17, then it could behoove the New York Knicks to give him a shot at a main roster spot.
Inglis struggled to shoot the 3-ball in the NBA, converting just 23.1 percent of his attempts in 20 games played. Fluctuating playing time makes it difficult to evaluate that small sample size of 13 attempts, however, which is why it’s easily overlooked.
Inglis has solid mechanics, a high release point, and an intriguing ability to get his shot off without being given much space to do so.
Inglis made 12 3-point field goals in 13 games with the Westchester Knicks in 2015-16. That’s still a small sample size, but he shot 36.4 percent from distance and has the potential to convert at a clip of 40 percent.
Though he may not be an elite marksman just yet, it’s imperative to note that he’s only 21 years of age and already has an employable skill.
