    When are the refs gonna start respecting him enough to give him calls at the rim? He gets there at will.

    When he grows a beard and changes his last name to Harden.

    He also only played 3 quarters. Makes it that much more impressive.

    Ingram and Lonzo are going to be allstars. That much is obvious. The question is whether one or both will become superstars. Then we'd be set for a decade.

    Which out of the last several was that? (teasing) Kid has been balling since Luke got the tip from Clarkson ;) to have him again play the point while Zo was down and to sit Ennis.

    He looked on pace for 30/14/10/4 or something. It was pretty remarkable.

    Pretty sure Kuz will be an all-star too.

    Kuzma's game isn't quite as diverse and mature. Ingram and Ball are already great playmakers and defenders.

    Lakers getting PG and DMC would have put the pieces perfectly together. With DMC blowing his achilles out, now I am not feeling it as much. Lakers have the 3 and 4 spots set. And Lonzo will be the 1 for the next 15 years. Lakers needed a Big like DMC and a 2 like PG-13. That team would have been good against GSW and Houston.

    His midrange jumper has been falling like butter. That's opened up the key to his offense in my opinion. Defenders having to respect it, he then blows right by to the rim, and now finishing through contact with ease.

    He's just doing everything on the court. Stay aggressive, stay healthy, keep it going BI.

    Actually I think it's been his outside shot that's been more important.

    Through the entire month of February Brandon Ingram shout over 50% from outside, 52.2% to be exact.

    my new "eddie jones" :Ingram Heart Hands:
    not that i hold against emotional players but love his demeanor on the court, can do most spectacular things but non flamboyant reaction, as if he does it all the time n no big deal..... this guy is our Leonard (want him here too lol)

    From what I've been noticing on his 3's, they are primarily off setups from Julius in the paint or a pass, rather than from an ISO or off the dribble. Maybe we can get stats on how many of those were assisted?

    But anyway, he's definitely looking more at his jumper than he ever has, and the confidence in his ability has opened up to anywhere on the floor, as well as his distributing.

    Kawhi might have a slight edge defensively, but I feel BI is almost nearly there. I'm not moving Ingram for nuttin'.

    I don't know how to find just February 3 pointers assisted on, but yes Brandon is assisted 95% of the time on his threes (he's made only 2 threes all year that weren't assisted). By contrast he's assisted on 2 pointers just 35.5% of the time. Most of those come in the 16 ft-3 point range.

    I'd move him for Kawhi, especially if we could dump Deng in that process, but only if Kawhi checks out physically. The kid clearly has some special makeup though. It's getting hard to ignore and if he keeps playing like this, maybe we don't have to make a trade to attract a FA.
