    That turn around over Ellington was nice! Reminds me of somebody I watched before...:)

    Exactly, LTL. It was obvious who I was talking about:

    Love the potential in Ingram. I think he is finally use to the speed of the game so he's more comfortable in what he can do.

    Ingram will could very well end up being a point forward like Pippen and more or less Giannis. The future is bright for this kid!

    He is finally becoming efficient on offense and someone you could count on.

    Props for the last 4 games, in which he has made 17 of 28 shots. Coming along I would say as he is finally also attacking the rim here and there.

    He's been attacking the rim all along, with varying degrees of success due to his slight build, but pretty fearless in doing so. And passing and handling well. The shots not falling to a previously horrid rate is where the problem was..

    I've never really been overly concerned about him because of this. There's things he does on the floor that are completely uncommon for a 19 year old kid. Hell he's more mature than Randle, Russell, and Clarkson and he's the youngest one out there. He has a better feel for the game than all three of them as well. When he was drafted I had dreams of him being the glue that holds the team together with his swiss army knife skill set and decision making. I've seen nothing so far to convince me otherwise.

    That's not even mentioning his insane length and overall coordination which will make him an absolute nightmare in 2-3 years. His ability to get to the rim right now with either hand and use his stride to take two steps from the three point line and get a layup is remarkable. His vision and passing ability for his size is amazing. Right now he's already showing flashes of being very difficult to guard. I'm very hopeful with this kid.

    How the hell did we go from obsessed BB player like Kobe for 20 years to another one a month later? Lakers have some amazing luck.

    If Brandon continues to put in the work like he is and he doesn't have any major injuries, God knows what he will be.

    Said it before and I'll say it again. At some point in the not so distant future I believe Ingram will develop into our best young player. Might take a couple years but I can see it happening.
