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

they used a Prince mold lol

 

Fixed it.

 

Anyone been watching Giannis breakout this year? We can only hope Ingram can progress and grow like the Greek Freak.

The guy is amazing. If there's one player I would like to build a team around it would be this guy.

 

Throw it down Big ..... errr.....Thin Man!

 

Lemph

 

No one expected him to be this good and holy crap he's been having a great season. Putting up big numbers with good efficiency, had like 7 blocks the other day.

I hope he is the model for Ingram, Gianni's was pretty skinny out of college too.

 

Damned if it didn't look like that long arm of his kept extending longer than it should have coming in to dunk the ball from the vantage of the backboard camera replay (in slow I think). It didn't even look from the side when it happened that he was going to dunk it and didn't really get up in the air. Then he lunges and extends.

Lemph.

 

crossing up a smaller player on the perimeter was more impressive than the finish, tbh.

good to see him dunk, though; he had gotten his finger rolls swatted by smaller players a couple times recently. use your gadget arms and dunk.

 

Ingram has the size and length which you can't replicate. I think Gianni's was drafted at 6'9" and is now 6'11". The thing I hope Brandon can work on is speed and explosiveness. The weight will come. I don't think he will be more than 230-240 max which is fine. I was impressed was his drive and dunk on Toronto the other nite. Really showed the potential with his length speed and ball handling.

 

Totally different players but this is what I'm hoping for Zubac as well. Have to be training routines with various exercises and types of equipment, resistance, sand, etc.

 

I've been noticing that this kid is straight up throwing some nice on the point passes in the game. It's been mentioned that he played point guard when younger and it's showing. I'm beginning to see generational potential in him.

 

Best game yet!

 

Seems to me he will be our future point guard. He has some of the magic advantages. The height and rebounding advantages over other point guards. Very willing capable passer that has the very real potential to take over offensively when the need arises. I like tall point guards that can make the over the top passes.

 

You can tell he's getting more and more comfortable and confident. He's realizing that he's always a mismatch. Once he gets stronger in the off season he'll be an even better finisher around the basket and I know his jump shot will only get better with practice

 

This was the most comfortable game I have seen him play. He looked like he was a step ahead all game. His defense was amazing too. He would get pumped fake and jump and than use his other arm to still distract the shooter and I dont think I remember anyone making a shot when his hand was in their face. I am beyond excited to watch him play. His assist to Tarik on that one drive, wow! I am so impressed I can not wait when he turns 22. Whatever Giannis is right now, I think we might have that with BI. If he turns into Pippen, it's over because D'lo is gonna be a star and Randle is a beast.

 

While I expected his shooting to be a bit better this year I did expect him to struggle early on overall. Ingram has all the talent to be great, and then you add in his length with those skills and he can be real special.

I think by the end of the year we will see a pretty consistent Ingram in regards to having pretty good games, but its probably going to take about 2 years to truly see the benefit of taking him.
