Thoughts on Ingram?

[Thebesteva]

Only a summer league game yesterday but this kid looks like the game comes easy to him.

[Spurs9]

He looks really good, both him and Simmons have alot of skills.

[Raven]

i really like his potential.. don't know about his frail body but that wingspan is very good. He's probably a safer bet to be good than simmons.

[Chris]

I like his defense :tu

[Mugen]

Going to be a real nice player tbh. Also is lucky that he doesn't have to play with one of the biggest team cancers in NBA history...

Also, probably top 5 ugliest players in the league already....

But yeah, going to be a very good player IMO.

[JohnnyMax]

Ingram > Kawhi

[Robz4000]

Better than Simmons. Lakers finally lucked out with a pick.

[whitemamba]

I'm really happy with this pick up, I like him more than Simmons imho. not worried about his weight , he's strong , and he will get bigger. I think he will win rookie of the year. We lucked into this one.

[TheGreatYacht]

Dejounte Murray is better

[-21-]

He looks promising, could be really good in a few years. Just realized he's just 18! :wow Pretty much as old as I am. :lol

[Splits]

Better put on 30 pounds of muscle before someone snaps him like a twig.

Ugly form on his jumper.

Other than that, looks good.

Agreed. I am hoping he can gain 25-30lbs. He'll be more explosive and will be able to play PF with added bulk.

His game is smooth though. I want to see him on the 2nd night of a B2B vs. Simmons.

His defense really surprised me. I read somewhere his wingspan and standing reach > KL's

Russell has the same stat line as Booker for the Suns & everybody is saucy over him.

Russell looked great last night. I'm hoping he continues to grow as a player. 20/11/6 with 3 steals was awesome. Gotta cut down on TOs (5) though.

Booker didn't destroy the life of a teammate, so he does have that going for him.

Speaking of Booker, he just had a nice 28/8/6 performance. Local media will be giddy tomorrow morning

nope, his wingspan is nowhere close to kawhi's..

6 assists and 5 tournovers.. dat vision tbh :lol

[LkrFan]

Yeah, LG almost crashed in the 1st quarter last night. :lol He looked pathetic tbh. Had like 3 TOs. Quarters 2-4 he looked like the #2 pick. I need to see more. He's in an offense tailor made for his skill set. No more excuses, he gotta produce.

[Kawhitstorm]

or jeremy lamb.. entirely possible tbh

Jeremy Lamb is 6'5" & a poor man's Kevin Martin.

[Kawhitstorm]

6 assists and 5 tournovers.. dat vision tbh :lol

He modeled his game after Turnobili.:lol

[ambchang]

Not going to lie, I think the lakers have a bright future with Ingram and dbust. I can see them be like a New Orleans or even Portland type of team in two or three years or so.

[whitemamba]

[siraulo23]

He played well on both ends, laker fans should be excited

This kid is ready for the NBA

anyway, summerleague is not about what you do, it's about what you don't do. if you don't dominate it it's very bad, if you do, it doesn't mean shit.

dat first half from the lakers :lol

Holy shit I take it all back after watching that first half :lol

Ingram's jumper is completely broken. Somebody is going to have to start from the bottom to fix that horrendous stroke. He's also totally lost out there against a bunch of guys who won't be playing in November.

D'Bust looks like he's competing for the 15th spot on the Sixers. :lmao 5 turnovers 1 dime in the first half against a bunch of scrubs

Didn't see the summer league game, sorry.

it looks like he's relegated to last option whenever tunnel vision dbust is on the floor..

[Killakobe81]

I think he struggled early tonight but he will be good. Not sure he will ever be a #1 on a title team but its early in his career.

[Clipper Nation]

Hey pussy....His jumper does looks like Marcus Camby jumper but he has time to work on that shit...you always want your rookies looking kind of unpolished...thats a very good sign....the real key you look for is poise and confidence....and Ingraam has it in abundance....you look for attitude and Ingram displays it with confidence on the defensive end...this is key....he will be an all-star in 3 yrs ....my only issue with the Lakers young players is that they're all extreme ball hogs with no reason to be....Randle and Clarkson especially....but we'll see..

All Hail Ingram

[100%duncan]

I was just thinking how many times can a guy miss so many open shots rofl

[midnightpulp]

:lmao I was so wrong

Me too. Just seemed like a Durant clone, and given how 3 point and length happy the league has become, I thought he'd excel straight away, even with the skinny frame.

Still too early, but he didn't make an impression right off like KD did.

[Fabbs]

Looks tired a lot of games.
Has he got health problems or he just hitting the all night burqa parties at Kobes?
He does not look okay. Booze, pills?

At this point Ivanka shows much more upside.

just a skinny 19 year old nigga in his first season, of course he is dog tired, he plays against people outweighing him by a good 30% of his weight :lol we'll talk in 2-3 seasons ... he does have talent.

well it makes sense son, because he is fighting for position and defending postups and trying to stay in front of physical dudes who stiff arm him and trying to rebound against stronger players, so they wear him out because he is a twig.

[HarlemHeat37]

Not gonna judge Ingram yet, he's way too skinny, atm..

He can't handle even the slightest contact and is constantly off-balance because of it..he makes Dominos look like Dwight Howard, physically..

All jokes aside, Julian Randle actually does look decent..definitely doesn't have star potential IMO, but I can see him becoming a good #3 guy if he keeps working..I haven't seen a single thing from D'Tective to believe he could be a star, though..

Russell is going to be a late bloomer IMO, it would probably take another season before he can leave a mark on a consistent basis. I'm honestly not worried about him. When he's good, his fingerprints are all over the game. He's a lead guard who's capable of handling, distributing, shooting, & scoring.


Ingram is really raw, like you said, he needs conditioning but this kid is going to be a game changer, tbh. Incredible amount of potential. Excited with the idea of grooming him as a point forward.

I won't even waste my time proving my point, I understand what you're trying to say, but the point you're trying to make is just wrong.

nah, he's basically a broken play type of scorer.. will never be a decent player playing an actual set. He just doesn't have the talent, skill or brain. He's a dumber JJ Hickson.

son ingram is 190 pounds vs the league average of 220-230-240 at his matchup. That's giving up 20-25-30% mass per matchup. Even his coach has discussed multiple times that he needs to get stronger and kept him on a tight leash in minutes. Instead of :lol you should actually watch the player tbh.

yeah but that's irrelevant.. the less the weight, the smaller the amount of energy is spent to move, that's physics. And if you see much posting up on a sf in today's nba, especially in irrelevant games like those that lakers play, well i don't know what to tell you. Bottom line is, he is tired because his fitness level is bad. It has nothing to do with the amount of weight he carries. Now, why does he defend badly and has trouble getting good position on offense is a completely different discussion.

sure, if the energy would be a constant, but it isn't . That energy has to be produced by something, which in human beings is generated through muscles, so low muscle mass means low energy capability. If he would never touch another player on the court (just run and shoot) he'd still need muscle mass for explosion and stamina. So because he is underdeveloped physically he has to overexert himself to play to the physical level (stamina, explosiveness, strength) of the league median, even without considering contact with other players.

His body and conditioning belongs to a text book example of an ectomorph 19 year old :lol. It's no surprised he's struggling, I mean he's younger if not the same age as most prospects entering the 2017 NBA draft.


I laughed when most analysts had him at # 1 last year, the talent gap between him and Simmons is so huge. Ingram is going to be a project, maybe 3 full seasons before we see what he's made of.
