Brandon Ingram

I’m hoping it comes together early enough this year that we can make a decision on whether to pay him.

If we aren’t going to pay him, we need to flip him at the deadline.

I was just watching a highlight package of Ingram and 3 things that immediately stood out LINK

1) He's very good at beating multiple defenders off the dribble in the same possession.
2) He attracts a ton of attention while doing that which often leads to easy dump offs to bigs sitting at the basket unguarded because their man had to help on Ingram.
3) If a guard gets switched onto him, which happens a decent amount in the highlights, he loves just rising up and shooting over them like they aren't there.

I don't know if it's because of the health condition or we just haven't seen much of him and assume a former #2 pick that isn't making much noise must be a bust, but the OP is right. If Ingram is healthy this board has severely underrated him and he fits really well with the way the Pels want to play.
