Brandon Ingram is a Gym Rat and Film Junkie

The 22-year-old is religious about getting two workouts in on days when the Pelicans don’t play. He goes to practice in the morning then returns to the team’s facility in Metairie at night to work on his shooting stroke or ball handling skills.

...“To my knowledge, he doesn’t have anything else that he does," Griffin said. “He’s a basketball player through and through. If he’s not sleeping, he tends to be hooping, I think.”

...Josh Hart said Ingram watches as much film as any teammate he’s had with the exception of Rajon Rondo. Ingram’s iPad, which is loaded with game tape, has become an essential accessory.

“On planes or getting off the plane, he always has his iPad with the game tape,” Hart said. “He’s always trying to get better. Whenever we go to a different city, he’s in the gym. It’s something he loves to do. He’s really able to kind of be himself here.”
