Can Donovan Mitchell learn from Joe Ingles’ pick and roll game, or are they too different?

There might not be two players more different in their athletic gifts than Donovan Mitchell and Joe Ingles. Mitchell, one of the most athletic players in the NBA, is fast, strong and bouncy. He can get well above the rim, or sneak in a layup well below it with an acrobatic finish.

Ingles, on the other hand, is not one of the most athletic players in the NBA. He has been nicknamed “Slow Mo’ Joe.” He does not have a terrific vertical leap, and while he can dunk — he has two this season — it’s certainly not a play he relies on.
