He's 18.
I'm aware. I just find it a bit weird that dude is just below the radar. We see a lot of cats get praise and even criticism too soon like D-Russ or even Simmons and Brown this year. Just not much being said about Ingram at all either positively or negatively.
Because it's clear he's not getting the ball. It's been the Russell show so there's not enough that we can judge him on. What's clear is that he lacks strength. He's been off with his shot but the majority of his attempts aren't in rhythm. To be honest, I don't even know why he was out there for summer league. It didn't help him at all. I think he would benefit from playing off the bench with a willing passer in Calderon.
I think Luke may go that route anyways and start Deng. Ingram is just too skinny to deal with guarding 3's for heavy minutes right off the bat. They can't open the season and start him at the 2 because of Jordan but he could maybe play a couple of minutes there. The real most intriguing thing from LA this SL has been Nance's emergence. I think it could open things up and potentially even play Julius as a small ball 5.
True, but a lot of basketball analysts were hyping Ingram trying to hail dude as the next Kevin Durant when it's was obvious in college that his overall scoring & shooting ability is no where close to Durant's.
Dwight Howard
Superstar
I think ingram will look completely be different in regular season. I'll admit my 14/6 prediction might be way off but with nba spacing he can be a valuable off-ball scorer this year
I don't see him cracking double digits. Maybe 8 ppg.
in terms of shot attempts he's behind:
Russell
Clarkson
Deng
Randle
Lou bum ass Williams

I disagree with that statement those schools have literally produced some of the greatest players ever. Where you go to school has very little to do with how you'll do in the league too much emphasis on the college game you either have it or you don't. Stars are rare regardless.I don't like Duke players cuz fukk Duke.

I've been saying this for the longest and it's not new it's been goin on since college. I'm still rooting for the kid tho

I see nothing but solid pros and some stars like Melo and Kyrie active today from those schools. I see nothing that makes me say their track record is worse than any other college program. I'm not passing up on players based on school affiliation or where they played a couple of years in college when they were teens. The real player development goes down in the NBA and is contingent on players work ethics and how good their strengths or how bad their weaknesses are as well as health, confidence, and team fit.
Dwight Howard should be playing in the summer league to work on his post game
