Lakers: Thoughts on Ingram?

[Clipper Nation]

Bust.

[Koolaid_Man]

Holy I take it all back after watching that first half

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. 5 turnovers 1 dime in the first half against a bunch of scrubs

Lkers

Hey pussy....His jumper does looks like Marcus Camby jumper but he has time to work on that ...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 at ude 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

He's like the rookie in 2k my player mode who is rated 54 with no skill points to improve.

Ivanka getting nuked

What?

[Raven]

What?

you want your players to suck, so they have a lot that they can improve on.. makes sense right?

[ElNono]

this skinny ass is turrible

[Robz4000]

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

I was so wrong

[100%duncan]

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

[midnightpulp]

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.

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

yeah, because it makes sense to get more tired than people weighting more than you...

[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.

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.

Do you even play basketball tbh?

midnightpulp, better hope Ben Simmons doen't suit up this year, son.

I don't know how that game works tbh, not into playing sports on the pc, but into playing them irl tbh.

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.

you watch any games son? Do you understand physics at all son?

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 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.
