Brandon Ingram workout

[kblo247]

Frye was doing his podcast with Richard Jefferson and Dave McMenamin and said some stuff on his tenure with the Lakers and LeBron that I thought was interesting.

He said the Lakers young guys were as talented as they come but they workout just enough to get by on their talent and its going to be a shock in how much they have to step up to keep up with LeBron even at his age. Kuz apparently used to text Frye and IT a lot asking how he was doing and how to improve. Both Frye and IT would tell him that the key to him is consistency and its not just work today and let go for a few days but he has to put in work consistently everyday to reach the levels he wants to reach.

You can tell a bit of that by the frequency that they broke down. Luke focused on conditioning and pushing the pace, but I can probably look at them and say they aren't Kobe, Fisher, Fox in a gym out grinding one another when you look at Kuzma, Ingram, and Ball.

People are just talking about LeBron and yes he is the marquee, but they are ignoring the actuality of what Beasley, Stephenson, Rondo are going to bring to those 3. They are going to challenge them for mintues, shots, and opportunities. That will happen in the game sure, but it will be more so in practice where we will see how those three can separate themselves from Kuz, Ingram, and Ball. Rondo has an attention to detail that will challenge the **** out of Ball's natural gift of seeing the floor. Beasley is proven year in and out that he can score in this league, so Kuzma will have to be able to be a better overall player than him with glass work and defense. Ingram has shown potential and he leaped forward, but he also was a tad bit fragile and there is no better way to prep him to step up to the next level for a playoff run than to point Lance on him every day to bug the **** out of him.

interesting. I remember the Lakers talking about how they had to lock the young guys out of the gym because they were showing up so much. Were they lying?

[LAKESHOW]

This season falls on ingram and kuzma. And thats exciting. Because folks who say they know, dont. It is the mystery of this upcoming season. Im excited at the possibility of what happens if....

[One Love]

Don’t sleep on Hart ladies... He will be LBJ’s pet project & blow up this year...

Wasn't that comment about the previous young core that included Randle, Nance, Clarkson and Dlo including ingram.

Frye was only on the Lakers post Clarkson/Nance trade. He'd be talking about Ingram/Kuzma/Lonzo/Hart

That said, it might have more to do with how tired the kids were in the latter half of the season, not being used to the marathon and getting injured.

I think LeBron is going to illuminate to the kids how much effort is required to get to the top. The kids are going to learn how to be professional first hand

I don't disagree, but why are so many people saying this?

Yeah, I don't get it either... Hart and Kuzma are going to have a hard time getting PT in the Starting lineup, not sure how that equates to LeBron's pet project...

And Hart is already good enough that he doesn't need to be anyone's pet project, he just needs to come in and do his thing. Hard nosed 3 and D from the 2... Like a taller Fisher.

Ball is going to be everyone's pet project this season... Rondo and LeBron are going to do whatever they can to jump start his development and get him on the court as much as possible... Ingram is already established and will just be figuring out how to play off LeBron...

OH, I'm referring to iamworthy's post of having to lock the kids out of the gym because they were working too hard.

Russell was gone iirc but your correct about everyone else. My shock is that I thought Ingram was a gym rat.

Honestly I think they lost their steam when Nance and clarkson got traded. chemistry got lost and they stop pushing each other.

Hen out of feather. They all know what’s at stake. No work, no play. This type of talk means nothing to me. It’ll show on the court who worked hard. So far, it’s clear that Hart worked very hard.

Those legs are like twigs. He has another year or two of gradual and consistent strength training to build more power and stability in the lower body... then watch out.

BI can be a superstar if he takes his body to the next level. I hope he follows Lebron's example. Lebron has managed to avoid serious injury despite taking some serious hits and contorting tumbles because 1) his legs and core are incredibly strong, and 2) his proprioception and agility is out of this world for someone his size. I truly believe if you put Lebron in Livingston's position back in '07, or in PG's situation a few years ago, he comes out without a scratch. His body is just too solid and conditioned to allow that type of hyperextension/fexion/rotation that often lead to debilitating injury.

Yeah, LBJ sure is built like few others. Bo Jackson comes to mind as similarly freakish. Phelps, Federer, Messi. All close to perfectly built and conditioned for what they do.

BI has a long way to go but will at best one day be almost as strong as Durant. He will never be thick, will have to find his way as a natural twig like Livingston and Reggie Miller did.

Ya KD is the usual comparison in terms of body type. But KD is also fairly lazy in terms of taking care of his body. Not to mention he has also had a couple injuries where he missed significant time. All I'm saying is that I hope BI looks at Lebron as a role model in terms of discipline in the gym, rather than just accept being a skinny dude. That being said, I think he is already looking stronger than KD has ever looked.

If he eats Phelps-like calories, he will gain weight. It's up to him.
