Anybody Else Disappointed by Rookie Brandon Ingram Thus Far?

[Brozay]

How is this a thread already

He turned 19 in September

Imagine this dude in 4 years at 23 after settling into his body and with game experience. He's gonna be great

Im disappointed in his shooting/scoring but his Defense/ball handling/IQ has impressed the hell out of me

I've never seen anything special. And I've been saying that from the beginning. I don't see the KD comparisons at all other than similar body type

I don't think so. He isn't a PF at all imo

Michael Beasley was a Tweener. He was a bully in college but wasn't big enough in the NBA to translate it. Ingram is a perimeter player that can prob end up doing damage out of the post with his jumper but he's not anywhere near a banger down there imo

HUH? HE'S A SMALL FORWARD IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD.. A TWEENER FOR A SMALL FORWARD WOULD BE ONE THAT CANT DRIBBLE OR SHOOT. I DONT THINK U KNOW WHAT TWEENER MEANS BRUH.

Give him another year.. Too early for this thread. He's got to get his strength and weight up first.

I'm insanely impressed with him on defense. Underwhelmed by his shooting and aggression but not disappointed. He's flashed every tool in the shed

i cant front, havent really seen him play, but he looks a little disappointing.

Ingram is coming along nicely, you're watching box score stats and not the games.


Defensively he's a monster, steadily guarding the opposing teams best players and holding his own,

He's not developing as fast on the offensive side, but that's because we have Lou Will, Nick Young, Clarkson, D'Angelo and Randle getting a high amount of shots, most off the Iso.


Ingram is studying and learning and his time will come. But I'm loving what I'm seeing from him on the defensive side, the most important aspect of a championship team.

That's why he doesn't have the same confidence a lot of high picks have offensively. He went to a team with a lot of scoring options already, which is very unusual for the second pick in the draft.

he's a tweener in the sense he's a SF but plays like a SG. reminds me of a shorter Jonathan Bender

 

[Hammer]

he doesn't have the drive or determination to be a star

dude has no emotions


this entire Lakers team is out partying and chasing the Jenner whores

He gets KD comparisons because of his build, outside of that his game is more in line with Pippen / Iguodala do it all types of small forwards, but with the potential to be a shooter ontop of it. He's only 19, he's going to be a two way player and the best comparison is probably Paul George.

I don't see him doing that IMO. Like I said I just don't see it, never have. But I hope he balls out tho. I never want to see any player be a bust

Hopefully he ends up being a lot better than Paul George.
