or just say he's impressive, not impressive for his age.


Ingram was good and consistent lately. The last play, we saw a player not afraid to take the last shot (very much different from Bron). Though he missed I think there is a foul somewhere where Horford is holding onto him. But the impact of that play made it possible for the defense to scramble and we are lucky enough that Tyson was able to tap it and ends up in Rondo. Many of overlook what Ingram brings in the game. Just because defense doesn't bring that much stats. We don't record the tangibles, the hustles, forced / changed shots in this games. Defensively Ingram is elite already. And offensively he has the potential to be special. Think about the games when Bron is out. The efficiency is there.


He really should be a primary ball handler because he's that good and it forces him to be engaged, but just not a primary ball handler on a team with LeBron or lonzo. The height of my frustration with Ingram is when LeBron drives the lane, kicks the ball out to Ingram, and Ingram then dribbles and takes the steps back to prepare for his iso.... He needs to catch the ball and goooooo.

Well, I think somehow you are right. What I observed when LeBron was out is that we are shooting well from the FT, especially Ingram. I think it has something to do with the rhythm . This last game they are awful at the FT line once again. I think the problem is Ingram is more of a slasher than a catch and shoot player. As well as Lonzo is more of a facilitator than a catch and shoot player too. Kuz is the only catch and shoot player in this team. I think the addition of Bron made a huge impact for this team and the sad part is that our 2 2nd picks are the casualties of that.
