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

Luv luv luv this gif!!

 

Fab4, Better to stay on the fence instead of committing to a side like this guy...

... With the #BrarelyBealievable talent evaluation.

Beal better go see the wizard to get more bite to his "all-star numbers" cause once the tiny dogg unsheathes his real "bark" the only thing the crap shack will be serving up are "bones"... You can bet the house on it!

I wouldn't give him up for Davis and Leonard together .....





Go back to your room Brandon.

 

So what you're telling me is that Beal avgs nearly 4 more minutes on the court than BI does (33.8 vs 30.1), is top 20 in field goal attempts per game putting up about 5 more shots than BI does(17.6 vs 13),is top 7 in 3 point attempts per game flinging about 6 more attempts than BI does (8.2 vs 2) and avgs more attempts at the free throw line than BI does...yet only avgs 7.5 more points than BI does.

And then there are the touches, with Beal avg 63 to BI's 47 per contest.

So Beal is leading BI in some numbers...but what are they really leading to?

Oh btw, there's the other side of the court too: Beal avg -3.8 (Ortg 106.9, Drtg 112.3, Netrtg -5.4) while BI avg +0.5 (Ortg 111.5, Drtg 110.5, Netrtg +1).

I’m probably in the minority as I’m opposed!

 

let hart start back at sg n give bi sf spot back...it might be postionless ball but spot wise n role on O is probably different for bi playing sg

 

Live look at Real with Savs...



Don't let him lure you in too @Big Mamma Jamma

Bron likes him, so I’m guessing g he sees things BI is yet to show in the games consistently. Be nice if he figures it out quickly though.

 

feel like in the preseason, ingram was moving better off the ball. maybe teams sniffed that out a bit?

that slow gather on his jumpers really causes him problems, as does his tendency to stop and/or hold the ball.

 

Hey TIME, what would you trade for Kawhi tho? Like how many players max? Haha

Nonetheless, I totally agree with ya bro. This is BI's first exposure to playing with a legit superstar. It's going to take some time to develop (see 9-8 in Miami, 19-20 in the return to Cleveland).

That brings me to what someone else said...not saying Wall is a bonafide superstar, but Beal's been playing with dude, while Pau Gasol was THE dude in Memphis before teaming up with THE superstar in LA. Beal ain't on Pau's level...they not the same and neither are their situations.

In terms of Love... He stat padded in Minny with nothing to show for it in May. Teamed up with a superstar and you got 4 Finals appearances and a ring. Again, not really similar to Beal's situation with Wall/Wizards.

Greener pastures and playing with Bron here in LA could make Beal's numbers more impactful in terms of wins and losses, but till then, dude just stat pads with next to nill in impact towards wins. I guess a better comparison would be...would be...now where have I seen this before?!?

Just seems things haven't 'clicked' yet for BI. We all know what he's capable of when he gets into a groove. He just needs a bit more time playing with Lebron. I'm not worried at all.

 

LFR has spoken about this on numerous occasions. I quoted him earlier saying how this is a simple problem that could be fixed by a shooting coach, but that he has NEVER seen anyone on the Lakers staff talk to BI about improving his gather (and he sits within earshot of the coaching staff during pre game warmups/practices).

In fact if you look at my really long post about my reservations on BI during the offseason, I point this out, specifically around why he has struggled to deal with drop coverage on the PnR.
