Brandon Ingram

I feel like he could be really good too, I mean hell look at how good Russel and Randle have done after leaving the dumpster fire that is the lakers.

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.

Ingram has a lot of Durant in his game. Just has that crazy length. He isn't super athletic, but has really good balance and body control.

Frankly, I can see how he wasn't a great fit next to Lebron as they both tend to attack the same weaknesses in the defenses. That said, he is already the best option at the 3 that we have had in a really long time.

Yall focus to much on three point shooting. Almost to the point where people are obsessed with it. BI will be a go get me a bucket in the 4th quarter guy. He skill level for a 6'9 guy is off the chart. I have heard people say we are going to show him off alot early on and go move him for a Beal type all star. Im on the side that thinks a 25 year old year BI is a higher ceiling player than Beal. I dont get the whole get me the all star now approach. How about develop the really good five young players you have now and build something special instead of fire sale to go get a Beal and be a 7 seed next two years.

If they plan to push the ball before defenses are set, there should be no issues with spacing. In the half court, Reddick creates space when defenses chase him around the perimeter.

Off ball movement will be more important than having multiple high percentage spacers on the court. If they can hit open shots, I do not see an issue here.

Zion doesn’t need a lot of spacing to get to the basket. He’s going to put a lot of bigs in foul trouble since he will be faster and stronger than a lot of bigs in the league. You give him a bit of daylight and that’s all it takes.
