Looks like a pretty good UFA pickup.
From NBADraft.net
NBA Comparison: Joe InglesStrengths: Wing with impressive size, athleticism and skill level ... Smart, mature decision maker ... Alert on defense ... Does a good job fighting through screens to stay in front of his man ... Does a good job using his length on defense to disrupt passing lanes and obstructing his opponent’s view ... Very quick for his size, should be able to guard NBA small forwards ... Does a good job defending in transition and not allowing easy baskets ... Has gotten better and more aggressive attacking the basket off the bounce ... Possesses good burst to the rim ... Finishes strong and is able to beat opponents off the dribble ... Scores really well around the rim ... Handles the ball well for a forward ... Pretty aggressive but also in control ... Confident stroke from deep ... Moves well without the ball ... Has the quickness to free himself for open shots ... Team mentality. Not a selfish player ... Focused player, who shows a willingness to work and improve ... Very willing passer and eager to make the right basketball play ... Very athletic run/jump[ athlete ... Runs the floor well in transition ... Can throw it down with ease ... Put a lot of work into getting stronger over the offseason, and the results are apparent as he looks a lot stronger than he did as a freshman .... Passes the eye test and looks like an NBA player from a physical standpoint ... Good size at 6'7 with a near 7' wingspan ...
Weaknesses: To make the jump to an elite level player, he will need to improve his consistency as a shooter and scorer ... While he has a confident stroke, his percentages could improve (35.2% from 3-point range and 65.5% from the foul line) ... More reps and an ability to slow things down a bit should help improve those percentages ... His aggression is a good thing but sometimes he needs to slow it down and not force things. Has the tendency to get called for charges ...
Outlook: After nearly entering the NBA after his freshman season, Wilkes figures to be one of the top non-freshmen available for the 2019 NBA Draft ...
Notes: Measured 6'6 without shoes, 6'7 with shoes, 199 lbs, with a 6'11 wingspan and 8'8 standing reach at the June 2017 USA U19 tryouts ... Entered the 2018 NBA Draft after his freshman season and attended the NBA Combine, but opted to pull his name out and return for his sophomore season ...

Trier and Dotson better be ready! Or they might be gone, released or traded. We just added 3 really good looking wings.

He is more of a forward, as is Ignas. But Barrett will command 30+mins at the G/F spot. Say he got 18mins at SG and 15mins at SF. Leaves about 20mins at SG for one. I think they favor Trier over Dotson atm.

Dotson is a better defender....a 2 way player. Trier is also a defender with his chase down blocks. They have nothing to worry about.
These 2nd round and UFA guys are practice players....forces the starting guards to play defense in practice. If one of these guys shoe they can also play defense, then we might have something. That's not the case right now. Summer league team should be good.

That's what I was thinking from the UDFA signings.
