What's happening to Brandon Ingram?

[Lebron23]

http://www.espn.com/nba/player/stats/_/id/3913176/brandon-ingram

Here are his pre season stats. Do you think he has some difficulty transitioning his game in the NBA?

[Bosnian Sajo]

He just turned 19.

[FreezingTsmoove]

And thats the reason why players reclassify.

He obviously has the talent but he is the weakest big in the league

[Lebron23]

He just turned 19.


Yeah, but he was hyped as the next Kevin Durant in this forum. Durant was a beast during his rookie season.

[Sarcastic]

It's the preseason. Who the hell cares about meaningless games?

It's probably gonna take a year or two for him to acclimate to the NBA physicality anyway. He's 190 lbs soaking wet. He needs to put on 20 pounds or so.

What do you think is his ceiling in the NBA?

[EricGordon23]

You can tell he's really nervous still.
They need to get him some easy points.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Kevin Durant is 50 lbs heavier right now and was 30 lbs heavier than Ingram coming into the NBA

Ingram is just a weak ass bitch. Talented but weak as hell

[Sarcastic]

Kevin Durant was much better coming out of college, and at the same age, than Ingram. BI is a poor man's version of KD, similar to how Simmons is a poor man's version of Lebron. Neither will likely live up to the comparison.

Ok. He needs to gain some weight in the NBA. bright spot for the Lakers is Deangelo russell showing some improvement in his sophomore season.

[bdreason]

His body isn't NBA ready. Walton and the Lakers are smart to limit his minutes all season.

Lol D'Lo looked like a scrub last preseason and now hes showing glimpses of starpower. OP is a classic 5'3 idiot

You don't even have any balls. My balls are bigger than your mouth. I bet you are going to choke just like Curry in the NBA Finals.

[BeastMode24]

he's overrated. lmao at him being compared to durant. durant put up 30/10 in college and was the best player in the sport. ingram doesn't compare. simmons is much better.

[CuhGetsBucks]

Why do yall mfs use it's just pre season as an excuse? Yall acting as if the ***** still aint out there trying to play basketball. I stamp yall have never played a sport in your lives.

It's just the preseason, it means nothing. You can pretty much equate is to a warmup for the players. Devin Booker is not leading the league in scoring. LBJ is not averaging 11ppg.

No I would say that Durant is an all time great, and was better coming out of college.

I would say Durant was 6'11 and 210 pounds as a rookie. Ingram 6'9 190.

[G-train]

What do you think is his ceiling in the NBA?

He could be like Tayshaun Prince but not quite the defender, and much better shooter. His defensive potential really intrigues me.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Durant was not 210. At worst 215 coming out the draft

And at the draft combine he measured out to 6'9 without shoes 6'10 with

Because a seasoned veteran and MVP in LeBron plays the same amount of minutes as Brandon Ingram, and would play as if it was game 7 of the finals. Anyone who has played sports understands that rookies and players fighting for roster spots tend to play harder in exhibition games. This returns to my point that you guys have never played if you're talking about "it's just pre season"

Brandon Ingram does not take a shot thinking "Well **** if it goes in or not who cares its preseason!", compared to LeBron who will clearly take plays off because the pre season does not matter for him.

[G-train]

He was 6'10.25 at predraft and was 6'11 halfway thru the season.

He weighed in at 215 and LOST weight over the course of 82 games.

If you wan't to believe that Durant was significantly heavier than Ingram at same age you are just wrong.

25 lbs IS SIGNIFICANTLY HEAVIER :lol !!

Ingram would be A LOT better right now with 10 extra lbs let alone 25 :roll:

You can tell this guy is a retard. You have to adjust to the physicality and pace. Hes 19. :facepalm

[CuhGetsBucks]

Nah you're just an idiot, if he's playing bad because he hasn't adjusted that's one thing, but you idiots say its just pre season to allude to the fact someone like him isn't trying in game or just doesn't care about a pre season game period. And you're a fakkit, I can see what kind of a niggga you are that you dickmunch some snitch niggga:facepalm

[fourkicks44]

I'm pretty sure Ingram has only been playing baĺl for a few years, while Durant has been a phenom since he was young.

I'm not saying Ingram will/should reach Durant's level, but comparisons at this age are probably unfair. Ingram is still developing his game, where is a young Durant was already NBA superstar ready. Ingram is apparently still growing too.

[IllegalD]

Disregard OP.

He's a pinoy virgin who dropped out of college to sell shrimp out of his bicycle and be a phone operator at a call center.

Dude is so f*cking insecure about the Lakers that he gets a boner out of any little negative development (most of which are just overreactions by a retard who doesn't know anything about basketball)

:lol :banana:

Ingram is going to be a hell of a bust :lol

Meltdown. To tell you the truth I want the lakers to succeed this season. But Ingram is far from being a legit starter in the NBA.

[IllegalD]

Ingram is going to be a hell of a bust :lol


The irony of this comment coming from a Celtics Stan.

So much BS talk about how the Celtics were "so far ahead" of the Lakers in the rebuilding process. All because of the fools gold that is making the playoffs in the Leastern Conference.

Meanwhile, only Minny can claim a better young core than the Lakers. While the Celtics best players are a midget and a past his prime dominican stretch 4.

:roll: :lol

And you're far from being a productive, respectable member of society.

Im sure the reason you want the Lakers to succeed "this season" all of a sudden is because of your obvious insecurities about Kobe. :roll: :lol

Minny

TBH I would take the Sixers core over the Lakers. I know it is on paper mostly due to injuries but what I am seeing is extremely promising.

Plus the cherry on the sundae is the Lakers are playing for Philadelphia this season, so that young core can only improve going forward.


Minny
Denver
Utah
Portland
Milwaukee all have a better core than the lakers.

Plus this, Portland in particular. Although a bit ahead of the other teams in development obviously.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Nuggets do have a better young core

Mudiay alone puts them at the top

Its called entering the NBA you inbred. D'Angelo looked awful in preseason last year and he looks like a different player a year later... after adjustment. Stupid fat white idiot

[Smoke117]

He's a kid who is not NBA ready. It's as simple as that. I think the lakers and their fans can go **** themselves...but making any judgement on Ingram at this point is just nonsense.

Dude's not even a fan of the Celtics, it's by default because he is a Lakers hater.


Those are the worst people. They watch the NBA to hate on specific teams rather than watch their "favorites". :lol

You're retarded. Dude just had 21 to lead a blowout win against the Mavs, and tonight was one of like two players on our team who was actually good against the Pacers. We lost because of like a 26-2 run when Indy's bench savaged our bench scrubs with Jabari and Giannis off the floor. Watch the games.

Lmfao at a dude who hypes up Mudiay acting like some authority on young talent in the NBA :oldlol:

Smook has personally told me he contemplated suicide after Lillard's game winner. ISB has literally posted pictures of his dick on here. I've even seen Lebron23 play basketball. This is still by far the lowest of the low.

You just got shitfaced by yourself on a Wednesday night, to get on a bball forum to threaten some dude you don't know over a thousand miles away. Think about that.

Lol at these Laker fans busting on Ben Simmons summer league then defend Ingram

[ClipperRevival]

Dude turned 19 just a month ago. He is a full year younger than your run of the mill one and done college prospects, who usually turn 20 in their rookie year. He is still a BABY! He doesn't have the natural size of a Simmons or Winslow from last year so it's going to take him longer to adjust.

There's just no point in drawing to any definitive conclusions after a few preseason games where he didn't play that much and didn't have much run through him.

I'm not saying he's going to be a bust or anything I'm just saying it geeks how Lakers fans talk like DRuss is in line of the top 5 PGs during the destruction of Emmanuel Mudiay but Ingram playing bad is nothing to pay attention too, it doesn't make sense. They're just picking and choosing.
