    Important not to cherry pick. Deng's FG% is just below Ingram's, but his 3pt and FT% are superior.

    That said, I'm with Weezy. We can afford to bring Ingram along slowly, so no reason to rush things and create a weird situation with a big money, big reputation vet riding the pine.

    I feel like BI doing well is more reason to keep him in the 2nd unit. One of our strengths is our balanced attack, when we have no drop off between starters and the bench. I doubt Deng can facilitate for Lou & Clarkson playing off the ball

    You know you must be a doing a heck of a job when you are a top pick, struggling with your shot and you are getting well deserved praise. His defense and playmaking is phenomenal.

    yep ... and the only young baller with Nance whose plays very rarely get on your nerves .

    I absolutely love how he's trying (and succeeding in ) to fit in without doing too much

    Advertised as a scorer that can make it from anywhere on the court. Hes been struggling on that front but I am still surprised at his defense and playmaking, the shots will fall sooner or later.

    Ingram is so poised given the responsibilities he has on both ends. Does all looking half asleep. When Ingram really wakes up? Look out, baby!

    He's been getting more aggressive with penetration every game it seems.

    Ya Ingram is making more plays it seems. He just needs to work on his body and he will be a force.

    Great feel for the game, unselfish and smooth.

    Pretty much what everyone is saying, I'm happy with all aspects of his game other than scoring which is a bit wild and out of control but hey, who expected him to be so good at D and distributing already. Still see him as an Odom type but with possibly a higher ceiling.

    The most surprising thing is that he's 19! Luke trusts him out there and he's delivering. He looked more aggressive out there, once he's comfortable, watch out.

    That felt like the play of the game to me. We had caught up and were going back-and-forth a little, but that was a step on the throat moment that said "we are going to take this from you."

    And it was delivered by the youngest guy on the team with authority through contact!!! Then he acted like it was no big deal.

    Yeah, i'm liking this kid, our coach, and this entire team.

    i like the play in the first half when he threw it up with the left and tipped it in with the right. looked like it was semi-planned. heady play, imo.
