Is Brandon Ingram the best young wing prospect in the league?

Philly bouls, Trust the Process
Outside of assists those are virtually the same numbers. That’s not even taking shooting versatility in to account. You’re acting like I’m comparing him to Giannis or Durant numbers.
Assists are insanely important, they're the defining aspect to Ben's game, and the gap there is wide af :heh: The gap in rebounds and steals is large too :ufdup:

I don't give a damn about "shooting versatility" when Ingram is still a less efficient scorer :camby:

That’s fine if you think Simmons’ numbers are better but there is absolutely an argument when many categories are close or in some cases better for Ingram. Ingram also doesn’t have glaring holes in his game like Ben.
Giannis not a wing anymore?
He was excluded for obvious reasons.

come playoff-time in late game situations where the game is slower and defense is tighter...you will care. being a 3-level scorer has alot of value in this league, even bron has to shoot jumpers each game to keep the defense honest, ESPECIALLY as a primary ball handler. thats why ben often disappears in the 4th. 75% of ben points come within 10ft of the basket. and he shoots 55% from the line. that simply wont hold up in the playoffs

Ingram has improved alot this season, but it's still too early to tell. When he was first drafted he was getting Durant comparisons, but Durant was a big scorer from day 1 in the league. Ingram just doesn't have that in him, maybe he can carve out a nice career as a 18-20ppg guy who plays good defense, but I don't think he will ever become a superstar as his draft position suggests he would have.

He is top prospect. Haven't seen other people say otherwise. Real question is why you got Wiggins and Josh Jackson in the conversations. Them nikkas are trash. J.Parker showed he was going to better than Wiggins with one leg.

He's definitely the primary ball handler. Yaw even watch the games?
You know wht your partially right I just remember everybody bringing the call up and the couple games I seen josh hart did some handling but he does handle more that I’m giving credit, he doesn’t usually penetrate unless he has a free lane.

Ingram also doesn’t have to create offense for others he’s a play finisher like a more aggressive Otto porter right now. He will get better and I think he has borderline all star potential but yeah this year there impact isn’t close.
My god, what a terrible take. :picard:
