    Its great to see the strides he's made so far....I thought he should've gotten the ball during the last 4-5mins against Dall instead of IT, IT should've been more of 3pt shooting spacer with Ingram driving and kicking.

    Man, his jumpshot has been pretty consistent of late, both midrange and from deep.

    He's putting it all together. Just need a little bit more aggression out there fella. I know you're the quiet type, but let the beast out.

    Remember when everyone was freaking out about BI’s outside shooting? Slender man will probably never have Durant’s level of scoring dominance, but I think we can all safely say that his shot is coming along nicely.

    In an insanely small sample size of five games in February BI is averaging:

    19.8 points
    4 rebounds
    5.8 assists
    0.4 steals
    0.8 blocks
    56.1 FG%
    66.7 3PT% (!!!!)
    78.9 FT%
    35.1 mpg

    The team is 4-1 in that stretch with two wins over Oklahoma.

    Only two players in the NBA average 19/4/5 and shoot over 50% from the field: LeBron James and Kevin Durant.

    Not saying BI will keep that up, but he's playing extraordinarily well right now.

    He’s too skinny to ever be successful in the league though.

    His jumpshot progression has been incredible to watch. Struggled early on from the outside so he worked on it and started to take closer shots. His midrange became almost automatic and now he's extending his range again.

    the three is crucial for him. teams started just leaving him out there; good to see he's making them pay of late. that will open everything up, for him and his teammates.

    I love to see how he keeps adding to his game. Early on in the season he was going to the rim and finishing. Then once teams caught on and clogged the lane, he started hitting that mid range elbow shot. (which i love, dying art) and now hes added the 3 point shot. Once he puts it all together and understands when to use each skill hes gonna be an all star

    Ingram is also arguably our best on-ball defender as well...

    He played some really solid defense on AD for a few possessions, AD is just too good and too long, shot right over him. On offense though, Ingram took it right back at him, snaked to the hoop, used his body to get AD off him, scored a few times on him right at the hoop. That was impressive to see, no intimidation, went right at the shot blocker.

    Okay thanks for the clarification Weezy. That makes complete sense. I was just worried they were boxing out Ingram for whatever reason, but this explanation is totally fair.

    The trio of BI, Hart and Julius are all right there... they all have the tendency for brain farts but all three are really good. I would say that Hart is the most fundamentally sound. He is just so fun to watch because of that!
