    13 points on 6-13 shooting (1-2 from three). 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and a block. Had 5 turnovers but was team high +17.

    A very well rounded game from BI and much better look with less iso plays.

    Played the passing lanes defensively...cooled off Stanley Johnson. Kept the ball moving too. Liked that drive with a change of hand flush in the first.

    I really liked Ingram's play tonight. The last two games he's found a much better rhythm out there. Not forcing it too much, but staying aggressive and taking guys off the dribble to score in the paint. I like that much more than forcing the iso outside shot.

    yeah, didn't see the second half, but looked solid again in the first. his lack of outside shooting (like lonzo's) is really hurting, though.

    The starting lineup's lack of shooting is actually taking a lot away from Lonzo's game. I'm truly hoping that Kuz starts while Larry is out. When we were struggling in that first quarter, Luke inserted Kuz and it paid off. We need at least a threat out there to knock it down. Kuz gives us the best chance for that I think even if he's not hitting a great percentage from three lately. We need to spread the floor a little and have other options.

    Wait. "Busts" can't do that. Which is correct? Or is it you have a bad game boom you're a bust again? What have you done for me lately is our mission statement around here it seems at times.

    This is the BI we wanted. Guess what, he scored 18, a shot away from the 20 ppg Magic wanted him to get but much more efficient than the ISO-BI.

    Lovin what i'm seeing from him DEFENSIVELY.

    Once BI starts knocking down those FT's...he can make the jump to being a 20ppg scorer. He's not there yet...another 2 years from that.

    BI starting to get going ... Kid is the difference between 30 win team or a 40 win team

    He’s sooo good on defensive weak side help with his length. I think he could easily avg 2 Blocks a game

    Ingram is definitely showing why Magic said he’s untouchable. Just so smooth offensively and he has the chance to be a special defensive player and a great two player. He is just a different player this season. He’s able to finish through contact. Mid range game is on point. Much improved as a finisher. Part of that is strength, but also showing craftiness around the basket and using his off hand and shielding the ball from shot blockers.

    He’s averaging

    14.8 ppg, 2.9 assists, 4.4 boards, 1.4 steals .07 blk

    45% shooting overall, %39 from 3.

    I’ll take that early in his 2nd season, every single category and number is up from last season. Realistically that’s close to what we should have expected, and what most here probably did, Magic was the one with the silly 20ppg thing. This is how most talented rookies progress, steadily.

    He uses his length really well and plays solid D. But he needs to work on his long range shooting. THat would make him deadly.
