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

@Doc Brown said it best. Brick City.

 

Aaawaa aeqaaq

Cousins isn't ideal. But he can play and if you bring in LeBron and PG 13. That team becomes scary. Lonzo will be a star. But he needs the horses around him. Kuzma covers the BI bust and then you can round out the rest if the team however you can.

 

Love the attitude...do not pout if things are not going your way. Keep fighting kid. I'll try to fight off the mob in the mean time.

Garbagge time is worth mentioning, but still, dude was a few jumpshot makes away from being a net positive for the night. That earns him playing time IMHO and again, I like the aggressiveness seeing how Lopez and Clarkson were the only ones trying to find their shot, while the rest of the team (and coaching staff) looked like they were in headlights all night.

 

That's just freaking stupid. Can't go left, can't hit a mid-range shot, can't finish, but still going to try to probably ISO. Goodness.

 

More and more, I'm smelling bust. He may be an above average player someday, but I don't see star or superstar at all anymore. He's done nothing outside of practice to deserve being handed the keys to the franchise, as Magic seems to have proclaimed.

I'd feature Kyle Kuzma more than him at this point honestly.

ingram not even Wes Johnson lvl lol

 

sounds like an offensive scheme execution/coaching issue

 

Let the boy continue to get hella reps before you attempt to bring out fat lady.

 

Yeah, he's being encouraged to drive to the basket and attack, but that's always been his game.

I read that he was 6'2" his freshman year in high school and then grew nearly 8 inches from there on. That's a late growth spurt folks and he's still obviously growing and morphing his body, so alot of his struggles (in terms of finishing at the basket after contact and his revised jumper mechanics) are all a work in progress due to the continuous change in his body composition.

The kids going to get there...chill.

 

Our big 3 Ingram, Zo and Brook

 

Much, much, better. Let's see this type of game against better opposition and consistently, though...

 

3rd youngest team in the league. Its.going.to.come.in.time...till then, kid doesn't deserve the criticism he is getting right now with such a small a** sample size. He carried us in the 1st half and was a man of his word by still taking the same shots he missed against the Clips...went straight to the cup from the jump. Love this kids headspace. He's going to be a player...I got no doubt.

Minor critique...cost Zo a tripdub by missing a wide open 3 (his only miss from 3 of the night). Also the more stronger he gets and develops his core strength, dude needs to start getting those boards. Love his close outs...but his D can be much better and that's really going to be fun to watch him develop that.

 

Very enthusiastic after tonight's game. Happy for him.

 

YES! YES! YES! DURANT 2.0 from now on

 

all O now, no d n much of anything else, but its a start
