im not gonna talk too much shyt cuz it might come back to bite me later in the season if he pans out:mjpls: but ever since he had that 1 good summer league game hes just been bugging out

just been a ball stopper who only knows one gear when he gets the ball and always looks to force a wild shot up instead of getting his teammates involved

kuzma is making him and randle look real expendable:mjpls:

Yall gotta stop making indictments on these players aged 18-22 who don't have more than a season or two under their belt.

Kuzma was not even on the NBA radar at 20.

Ingram is severely physically underdeveloped and he doesn't know how to impact the game outside of volume shooting which doesn't help because he isn't a knockdown shooter.

That can easily come with age. Most of the guys in the past 2-3 draft classes are not producing like that. It is normal. Guys coming in and producing day 1 or flaming out early are outliers.

Too early for me to say he is not that good
People really counting summer league and preseason for what will happen in regular season lol
I still think Ingram is a solid player with all-star capabilities
Only time will tell :manny:

This whole age thing makes 0 sense

All the scouts "omg he so young he has so much potential"

I swear that's the excuse for them to keep their jobs for 4 years. They can just fall back on he's a rookie, or it's only his second year


Look if you can play you can play. Kyrie, Steph, Bron, Melo, Wade, KD, Lillard

All these nikkas came in and were ready to play because they actually could PLAY.


THIS GUY IS GOING TO BE A BUST.....I CALLED IT FROM THE JUMP


I feel like Fultz will be too, alot of busts have that tired look in their eyes lol

Skill level just isn't there it was obvious when he was at duke to. People were calling him a poor man's Durant but the only thing they have in common is there both lengthy and skinny. The kids jumper is broke ass hell.

Is it me or does he not make his moves with conviction? Something I noticed last year about him...like he is nervous or something

The internet meltdown over BI has been funny to watch. :laugh: Impatient ass nikkas.

Once he settles down and get into a rhythm, he'll be fine this year...and then a beast in the future when he adds some size.

He's been playing solid to great defense tho, and he's a capable passer, so he can have some impact there. He just needs to relax and let the game come to him.

Great point, have you noticed that it's taking wings longer to develop than it did in the past?

Lonzo is not a better facilitator. Simmons creates offense for other players ala Lebron Rondo, and John Wall. Lonzo takes what the defense gives him and finds the open guy the way Jason Kidd did. Nothing wrong with the way he facilitates but I take the player who makes his teammates better.
This is all types of foolishness :mjlol:
