i mean he's only in his 2nd year breh, hasn't even played 100 total games yet. So as time goes on perhaps he'll be a top player I definitely still think he can be a modern Jason Kidd
Lonzo was 5 of 7 from 3 yesterday but finished 6 from 13 overall, that means he was 1 for 6 inside the arc (majority of those attempts in the paint). He’s a really bad finisher at the rim, if his three ball isn’t falling he really can’t do anything in terms of scoring.
well he can't become a better finisher if he's not attacking in the first place so at least hes doing that. He's been kicking it out too when driving. If he was 5-7 from inside the arc and 1-6 from 3 y'all wouldn't be happy neither. He isnt gonna be the perfect player today, no one at 21 will be. But y'all said he should better and he is, said he should attack and be aggressive and he is. Also against the Clips he was like 3-4 or 3-5 from inside the arc so as usual he's been up and down.
you're right he needs time to develop. i have extremely high expectations of him in particular

This is a good thread on Ingram
man that thread aint got nothing in it a lot of us haven't been saying for a while now. Its just more wordy for nerds. Some of yall just now comming around on Brandon Ingram thats all.
great thread. BI was really good in stretches last season which led to such high expectations this year. We got to play to his strengths

That last game took everything in me not to slander my boys 
It was just one game, and 3 out of our top 6 was hurt... but that one still stings
It’s frustrating, but we took Ingram knowing he would be a project. I’m continuing to be patient with him, but for this season I hope it is becoming clear that he needs to assume a tertiary role and diversify his shot selection. I would much rather he chuck up lightly contested threes as opposed to these long twos when he’s creating for himself ( this drives me crazy about him
). We have seen him do step back threes in preseason. Where is that shot?? He said he worked all summer on his jumper (among other things) and he still barely shoots the three ball... with his lack of explosion and strength it is vital that he is a shooting threat so defenses at least close on him or play him tighter. It’s time to try a different approach, Brandon... if he could play the Otto Porter role this year it would be fantastic.
With that said... at one point is Luke Walton going to install an offensive system? Kudos to his defensive coaching prowess, but we have not seen much offensive creativity since he’s been here. This last week or so truly crystallized how much he relies on fast breaks and Lebron to bail him out. I’m not going to lie, I thought he might have gotten fired after that Knicks game. I was expecting the announcement and hiring of Mark Jackson by now...today is probably a must win game for Luke.
Lebron for MVP

Luke will get fired in the next few weeks if they continue to lose.
Its funny watching the kobe crew cosign this when it basically breaks down how silly their "lebron was holding ingram back" talking point was. The point about how ingram needs to up his catch n shoot game was particularly noteworthy to me seeing as how kobe fanboys try to disparage "bron-ball" and how it requires role players to hit spot up open shots.
This breakdown just repeats everything ive already said in this thread. They need to change ingram's role. Stop tryna force him in the point forward go-to man role, and let him get in where he fits in off the ball. Let his game develop more naturally.
