    That would = at the very least 3 "studs" including Randle and Russell.

    Loved hearing this from Luke:

    On Saturday, Lakers day off, Ingram wanted to go to the Lakers practice gym to get up some shots and work on his game. Luke said that he must have forgot that there was a Defenders game at the practice court. Instead of leaving and going home, Ingram with Luke's help found another gym to get his work in at night.

    I'm glad from a shooting perspective Ingram is starting to reap the benefits of all the hard work. Keep it going young fella.

    It's knowing the best bartenders and handicappers around. That's not luck. Takes years to build out that network.

    Most interesting quote in there to me was that they taught him to jump off of two feet in college. Coming into the NBA it was considered a big weakness for him that he couldn't or was unwilling to leap off of one foot. Interesting to see it was more or less a coaching decision and now he's breaking away from that.

    Those are the kind of stories I use to hear about Tim Duncan. Duncan would show up to voluntary s*** and all the other players would be surprised and coaches would be like, what are you doing here? And Duncan would be like, "I thought this was mandatory?"

    Russell will be Harden 2.0. Ingram will be Pippen like with long range shooting. Randle looks like he at the ceiling of LO with power. Let them develop and add pieces to them. In 4 years, at the most, they will be contending for titles once they add players to put it all together.

    Start him. Now or after the All-Star break. IMO.

    This is a 30 win team and our future is has a large part to due with this young man, Russell, and Randle. Get them use to playing with each other...

    He's quickly becoming my favorite of the young kids. Very quickly.

    I'll always sort of identify with Julius because he plays like I used to when I was young, but I think Ingram is the kid with the best chance of greatness.

    He's going to be a top 5 player in this league. IMO.

    How close is Ingram to being our best player?
