re: What's Brandon Ingrams ceiling?

I didn’t watch a ton of LA games but he looked good when I did and that’s reflected in stats. I don’t totally get the knock on his jump shot. It’s basically half of his game (mid range pull up/fade away) and it’s unblockable; KDish (inside the arc) being the ceiling. He’s long and finds the rim creatively by using the pump fake off his jumper when necessary, he can handle well...and is 21 years old. I think he’ll be a big part of the reason this remade Pels team surprise people in year one.

Spacing is a real concern since we don’t have the spot up shooters to stand around and watch him work but, one on one, I think he’ll be 20+ with solid+ defense and that might be worth a max next year if he rebounds at a decent clip.

With that said, I can see him leading the second team with the bench shooters (Hart, Moore, NAW) on the court and keeping the Pels competitive and even winning those second team match ups.
