Ingram playoff stats last year. It’s the regular season. This board gets irrational after we just went 3-2 in a 5 game road trip against high quality teams.
Everyone will have a down game or a few down games. Let’s see if coaching will match the talent this team has as the season unfolds.

It might be over the top, but it’s not irrational. There has been concern about the fit of BI and Zion since they got here. Injuries have kept us from seeing them play together literally for years.
Now we see it and it’s certainly not all bad, but he also hasn’t removed the doubts and is due a big pay day next year. If it’s not going to work, people want to decide by the trade deadline to maximize the return and minimize the damage of committing all of that money to him. Don’t look at negative BI threads as hate, as in he sucks, but questioning if he’s the right fit at #2.
I’m personally still undecided. I think he has the tools to do what we need, but how he needs to play is not his natural inclination. He needs to be part time floor general, part time spacer, and full time defender. He’s done fine at #1, badly at #2 and it’s still a mixed bag at #3 but improving.
The coaches need to help more too. We need to see Point Zion more when BI is on the floor with him so BI can play more off ball.

Stats are great. How many playoff wins? You can visually see the difference when he’s in the game. The ball doesn’t move. We take 10 seconds to get him the ball, he dribbles around for 8 to 10 seconds, then he either puts up a fading away mid range or passes it to someone with 4 to 6 seconds. Rinse and repeat

Playoff record and clutch percentage please?

Ingram playoff stats last year.
And even that playoff series is a good example of how inconsistent he is.
He had 3 good shooting games and 3 awful shooting games.
He had games of:
17 shots - 18 points
19 shots - 22 points
19 shots - 21 points
If your best player shoots inefficiently for 50% of games in a series, that's not exactly a great series for him. He was great in the other 3 games, so he was simply inconsistent.
Also, what do you with the idea that Zion looks so much better when he's playing without Zion? And the best this team has ever looked for an extended period of time in the last 5 years was a 1+ month stretch where BI did NOT play?
quote:He's our 2nd best player who we play as our #1 option. You mentioned "everyone" having a down game, can you show me all of the #1 options who have had a 7 game stretch where they averaged 13ppg on 11 shots?
Everyone will have a down game or a few down games.

His refusal to shoot the 3 and his inconsistency should be enough to either send him packing or sit him down for a reality check. I don’t care if the goes 3-5 game stretches where he plays good because he’s making his 18-20 foot contested mid ranges. It’s bad basketball and losing basketball
