The Atlanta Hawks are among teams that are thought to have interest in Maccabi Tel Aviv wing Joe Ingles according to Eurobasket.com's David Pick:
Sources: Maccabi's Australian point-forward Joe Ingles is drawing lots of NBA interest for next season.

@PaulGarciaPS @dudasun Correct. Joe Ingles wants playing time. MEM, ATL, UTA I'm hearing are more likely than SAS.

Ingles is a 6-8 guard/forward who is currently playing with Maccabi Tel Aviv. He played in the Liga Endesa from 2009-2013 with CB Granada and FC Barcelona. He rejected a two-year offer from Memphis over the summer according to Pick but could be eyeing a jump this summer. Ingles is still under contract with Maccabi but his contract does contain an NBA out.
Ingles is averaging 8.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists in the Euroleague. He's currently shooting 49 percent from the field and 46 percent from three-point range. Maccabi Tel Aviv is coached by David Blatt. You might remember that name from the summer of 2012 when then head coach Larry Drew traveled to Israel to observe Blatt and his staff.
Other teams reportedly interested in Ingles include Memphis, Utah and potentially the Philadelphia 76ers.
