The big * next to that is it's usually the Future Core vs. 2nd units, not starters. But there's still a ton of value in that. Usually you're doing good if your bench unit can tread water, but building a lead is rare.

For all of the "Ingram isn't clutch" haters that focus on the last minute of play. A lot of times the reason the Pels have a 17 point lead to blow in the last 5 minutes is because Ingram being a 2nd 24+ppg scorer gives you the freedom to play Zion with the bench units to build that lead.

Normally the top 2 players would spend most of their time with the starters to maximize their output. Making the bench players better by staggering Zion/Ingram is a luxury most teams don't have and it shouldn't be taken for granted just because Ingram isn't perfect. He's still pretty damned good.

Yep. Hard worker, doesn't yap at all, seems to be a good teammate, well liked, and isn't an overall a-hole.

It also helps that we have 3 young guards with a size advantage Lonzo- 6'6, NAW- 6'5, Hart- 6'5. And also have Kira who is probably in the top 1% for speed in the NBA.

Anyone shitting on BI is just bitching to hear their own voice. If you think he’s the problem, then you obviously don’t have a sound comprehension of how to build a team

You'd think people would appreciate the first good SF in nearly 15 years.

Remember wishing for a SF and being happy we landed Posey?

I’m all in on BI. He is an all star and has the determination to get better. frick the fact that he’s only 23.

I would love for people to give me 10 better small forwards.

We have it damn good. We have a top 10 wing for a change and they wanna btoch and complain.

Should we remind yal of the solo, chief, posey, Miller, etc?

The only ones I'd have above him are Lebron, Durant, Leonard, George. After them you can argue for Tatum and Middleton, I would have them pretty much even though.

Durant is falling down the list though with his injuries
