    Looked more confident taking the shot, made 3 3s! Hopefully there's more where that came from.

    BI is slowly carving out a role on this team.

    He may not be an aggressive player, but, he plays the right way, and he'll only be better as he learns more about the team and the NBA style of play.

    He's probably one of the smartest players I've seen in awhile, especially at his age.

    His shot looked sharp. Definitely saw the potential Tayshaun Prince comparisons coming through last night. If that's who he turns out to be count me in! Smart play, smooth, great defense, can knock down the open three or drive inside to finish or kick. I think the aggressiveness will come out more in the next couple years. I can see that he has it, and he's confident in his abilities. But he's trying to fit in right now and play system ball. He's going to be a good one.

    One thing to look out for with the BI vs. TP comparison is that Prince averaged 11.2 and 11.3 PP36 in his first two seasons, when he was 22 and 23 years old. Ingram is doing that already at 19, in his first 15 games. He's likely to pick that up as the season progresses, and I could see him ending up closer to TP's third season (14+ PP36). His scoring ability is going to be either "better than TP's" or "vastly superior to TP's." Which one remains to be seen.

    Wow, that's great news! Yes, even just by the good old eye test it looks like Ingram will probably be a more dynamic scorer than Prince.

    if Ingram is Prince, its disappointing IMO. Yes no picks is guaranteed but I would expect a lot more than a prince type for a #2 pick

    No, they cant. You should have read the garbage on there yesterday. b****ing about Luke's coaching even after the win. All the communists who run that site are your typical left wingers where nothing makes them happy and they are always b****ing about s*** even though they win.

    If Ingram turns into Tayshawn Prince, it would be a death blow.

    I think he'll be considerably better than Prince all the way around, but not a good as Durant offensively. If he turns into a lock down defender with just some of Durant's scoring tallent, it's a win IMO.
