Nah, no way will the Lakers NOT sign PG because of Ingram.

Even Magic will get boos in L.A. if it leaks that this is the case.
I hope that isn't the case....but I did hear Stephen A. say that Magic not wanting to add Ingram to the trade to Indiana is what killed the deal...so we will see I guess

Ben is already 230 lbs of muscle...

If Ingram's shooting touch returns and he adds strength....he will be a problem on both ends of the floor.

Definitely has nice vision too but not explosive enough to draw the help consistently yet.

Like I said, I'd give this guy some time because its quite clear he is severely physically underdeveloped but if his jumpshot stays at Ben Simmons/Giannis levels then its pointless, I agree.
His jumper isn’t broken at all though. Damn near all of his shots rim out, he’ll be straight

If we're going strictly off ability then I'd hate to admit it but yes. :francis:

Jaylen came back this year as a better player. Ingram still looks the same just with more aggressiveness. But because of the potential of Ingram, I'd still take him...

Jalen has the potential of Eastern Conference Kawhi though

He definitely needs to speed up his shot.

Release is late and often comes out flat.

Guys with abnormally long arms just have a hard time with this against NBA contests.

Ingram needs to stop doing midrange, unless you are Chris Paul efficient in Midrange you have no reason to be doing all that shyt..Ingram is not good at midrange, I don't think I have seen him hit once. He needs to stick to 3s and driving in. Also no iso till he gets stronger, he cant get past a guy because he is too weak. He needs to play off the ball and cut. I have no idea why Luke has this guy doing Iso, midrange pullups all game
I said the same thing watching last night. In other games he's gotten to the rim pretty decent. I think because his lift isn't all that great effects him ....I thought he was more athletic in college.

His main problem is that his shot seems broken.

He needs to tinker with it, channel his inner Kobe, lock himself in the gym and shoot a gazillion jumpers until it's fixed. There's no other way around it:yeshrug:

Ingram in high school was :ld:to me.
In college he was :ld: to me.
So far in the pros he's :dahell::scusthov::heh::camby:to me.

Im a firm believer in fts in college predict NBA shooting. Wasn't a good ft shooter in college. Everything I heard out of his draft workouts were negative. Heard he shoot the ball terribly in every predraft workout.

I still think he could be a good player one day but you draft 5 year projects in the 10-15 range
