Brandon Ingram Discussion: He Is Who We Thought He Could Be

thought he played pretty well in the loss. really went at his defenders when it was clear help wasn't coming. my favorite sequence was when roberson (a strong defender) smelled blood and tried to rush him near midcourt when ingram was initiating the offense. ingram blew by him and went to the paint. he missed the floater, but that will come. the important thing about that play is that it solidified for me that he's a strong enough ballhandler to play the point forward spot. long term, having him and russell on the floor together will really open up some offensive possibilities. if we could get ever get randle to set a great screen, things could really cook.

 

Both BI and DLO will slowly and surely be our go to guys it's just a matter of not being content with who they are but getting better and better everyday and every off season. Both are stars in the making, THE FEEL FOR THE GAME is there for both which is the most important thing. It's just a matter of time before they dominate.

 

This kid is very good. Glad he's healthy. Experience on the floor this year is pivotal for his development, and I don't want him to miss any significant time.

 

I like what I'm seeing from this kid. They're not big numbers but he really has a feel for the game. I see why Luke put him in spots to run the point. He's lanky but he handles the ball and picks his spots very well. Definitely worth to see this kid grow throughout the season

 

Big time shot that should give him some confidence moving forward

 

I lost it when he hit that 3, its thrilling seeing guys step up in the clutch. Seems like all of the young guys took turns stepping up last night.

 

It really was a true team effort

 

You think he starts after the all star break?

 

depends on whether deng continues to be a disappointment. he played well last night, but if he plays like he has in some other games consistently, i think luke moves ingram in with the starters.

ingram's length seems to really discombobulate offensive players, especially the first few times they see him. korver had to bail out of a shot he normally gets off; you could tell he was surprised.

 

Yeah. Ideally, this is what you want; your number 2 pick getting experience in a pivotal situation and hitting a big shot, and we got the W to boot. We are building something fantastic here...things are finally looking up!

 

Absolutely. We took a lot of big steps last night individually and as a team.

 

I think for length and defensive purposes.. Clarkson and Ingram would come in together to start, which might be this year...might not.

Lou Will, Young, Deng, Nance off the bench.

 

Good. I just hope we are patient with him...

 

Relax

I think people are giving him time. I don't see many knee jerk reactions about him. I thought people can clearly see he needs to develop physically before he will truly be able to take over out there.
