Ingles will need to keep knocking down long balls if he plans on holding onto the lead for quite some time, his teammate Donovan Mitchell has already begun his ascent on the Jazz's all-time 3-pointers made list. Mitchell currently sits fourth on the list less than 100 threes away from catching Gordon Hayward who sits in third. Mitchell has nailed at least 173 threes each year since coming into the league and it won't be long before he has Ingles in his sights for the top spot. 

The Aussie also has a chance to make a move on the Jazz's all-time assists leaders this season as well. Ingles currently sits eighth on the list with a real chance of passing both Pete Maravich and Jeff Hornacek this year. Andrei Kirilenko who sits fifth might even be in play this season barring any major interruptions in Ingles' season.

All in all, Ingles is leaving a legacy in Utah many wouldn't have predicted from the onset. Not bad for a battler from Adelaide.
