I remember coach Spo said one of his biggest regrets was forcing trash centers in the lineup during the big 3 era and not playing Bosh at the 5 doing small ball sooner

Am I tripping for thinking Brandon Ingram is still just as talented as Jaylen Brown or Tatum?
I'm a big fan of Ingram. Don't think New Orleans is a great fit for him and he plays like he just smoked a huge blunt and is zoned out.

He also has trouble staying healthy, hasn't played over 65 games since his rookie year

Agreed. I think the health part is the biggest difference. And the fact that he’s never played with a real PG. And you can’t compare the level of seriousness when it comes to winning between the 2 franchises. But in a vacuum, talent wise, I think he fits comfortably in that range with Tatum and Brown. I don’t think there’s a real talent gap there

BI has the skills but he doesn't have their strength...both Tatum & Brown have high muscle endurance, which allows them to play physical and be durable

BI still needs to put on 20 lbs of muscle and he still needs to work on his 3-ball some more

I should’ve mentioned that. That’s the biggest separator for sure. Doesn’t seem to put in the work in the gym they do
