Branon Ingram looks like a dope..... high school junior or senior.

Ingram isn't a Euro so you can't compare the 2. He didn't develop on the AAU/US High School basketball circuit. Giannis also wasn't a lottery pick

I love how people try to make obscure comparisons. I compared him to Durant and skinny US Basketball player. Durant's numbers in college justified him leaving early. Ingram left because he was going to be a top pick regardless. There's a difference.

Kevin Durant developed on the AAU/US high school basketball circuit, and since Giannis there have been several skinny/underdeveloped foreign players taken in the lottery to make sure that doesn't happen again.


17/7/2 from a freshman aren't worthy of leaving early? He's skinny, he needs time to develop his body, when he does develop his body you wont need to wonder why he went 2nd

Giannis was bigger than Brandon when he came to the league. Brandon needs to gain like 15 pounds of muscle to be as big as Giannis was as a rookie

Giannis wasn't bigger, he was 6'9 196lbs when he was drafted, he was more tone but I think you're misremembering how skinny he was.

While he's probably the lankiest kid I've ever seen his game translates well. Be a casual brehs

 

[DoubleClutch]

^Right. Cant hate on Ingram. If he has the drive and puts in work he can be Durant like before he turns 25.

If not, he'll be Bruno Caboclo

Giannis has a better body type to gain weight but he was also bigger than Ingram is. Ingram is 190 after gaining weight this offseason by eating pure trash. So it's not even like muscle. If he had the muscle tone or athleticism of Giannis I'd be less worried.

Plus I think it's dangerous to just say since Giannis did it Ingram can. Giannis is a once in a lifetime athlete imo.

What's encouraging is that he went from 169 to 190 at duke so he's gaining at a rapid pace. I just hope it keeps up

It's tall skinny kids putting on weight, it's not that big of a deal, plenty of dudes other than Giannis have done it. Just look at Joel Embiid.

There's like a 3-4 years between these two pics.


He'll put on muscle mass as he gets older, the dude is only 19, don't see why there's that much concern with him.

Can't really compare him to embiid either. Giannis and embiid are legitimate novel cases. That's why they are so special. Embiid and Giannis are 2 of the biggest physical anomalies in the NBA.

I think Ingram will get bigger tho but I don't see him being that level of a player even with size. I'm not worried about his size. I'm more Worried about his shot, athletsicm, aggression, and jumper.

He's young so I'm not about to kill him but there are lots of ?s in his game that I can't just chalk up to just age and strength. Everybody has potential when they are young That's just me tho .
I hope he proves me wrong just like I hoped Randle would prove me wrong

 

[Floyd Pinkerton]

He's fukking 19 years old.

Who has more potential Chriss, bender, Ingram, or maker

The lack of aggression is because of how he's built, you can't go to the rack if you're skinny like that. Embiid and Giannis aren't that big of anomalies in terms of how their bodies have progressed, plenty of wings come into the league skinny as shyt or were skinny in college, Paul George as a freshman wasn't much bigger than Ingram.

It was pretty obvious to me with Randle that his ceiling wasn't very high, short arms, no three not the most explosive
