    Sure hasn't. Ingram will probably replace him in the starting lineup.

    Exactly what I've been pushing for since this summer.

    i think everyone has been since last year. i thought he showed flashes in the preseason then completely abandoned basket cuts once the games started counting. i think his future in la depends upon him sorting that and his catch and shoot threeball out.

    if he wants to be a point forward in the starting lineup, it's going to have to be in different colors.

    First game of the preseason. Much more off ball movement, catch and shoots, and decisive attacks.

    The possibility of BI's D being more than it was (pause)

    Why should defensive effort have to be modeled for you to be inspired to do it?

    Not sure, but Ingram isn't alone there. A lot of nba guys don't get motivated on d.

    did he just say he viewed Lonzo Ball as a leader and wanted to follow his lead?

    Kid has no hope. Trade filler tbh.

    Eh, I had some (at the time) very unpopular opinions about how Ingram's offball play was poor last season and how we needed him to improve specifically on that aspect in order for him to be effective this season. Pretty much everything I went over has been true this year (poor perimeter shooting, constant attacking of the rim leading to injury, ball stopping) and it's why Kuzma has taken over as our secondary offensive option.

    I think while he still has some trade value we should ship him out for a superstar like Davis or if that fails a borderline all star like Bradley Beal.

    Welp...no LeBron, no McGee, and TC also sick...it's time for Ingram to step up and show the PELICANS why they should trade Anthony Davis for him.

    He is questionable too. As is Davis. It's a scrub game tonight.

    yeah. he's basically saying what some of us have said, but with a different conclusion (happily riding off into the sunset).

    i know it doesn't look like it, but i like ingram. seems like a solid guy, and he's a solid player. i just don't love the fit, and i hate that we've overvalued him in trade talks thus far.

    He doesn't read fast enough. Luke needs to tell him to make a decision to shoot, pass or drive within a second of getting the ball

    I loved the aggressive rebounding in this game. With his length and athleticism, those are always available for him.
