If anyone does this, lets give him his own offseason thread for it. That way we can stay on topic in this one. (I know this was originally in ANBA thread).

****.. I don't care, put it back. I just thought it was weird to find Laker player news in the Around the NBA thread?

Wait... Were they traded :o

Absolutely. If someone manages to get a video of Ingram chowing down on a quarter pounder and cheese, I'll throw money up. :rofl:

Bell on his tippy toes :laugh:

Give me him at #28 though. Will put the clamp down on defense and runs the floor like Megatron.

Get ready to move this thread to the nets board ;)

Glad to see him working on his body though, he needs it badly. Now someone teach him how to do a right hand lay-up!

Honestly him and Clarkson where the biggest disappointments for me this season, i was thinking he would kick on but he was more frustrating than anything else, sure he had games you where like damn he's a beast, but sometimes he would just downright suck.

He's - so far - one of those meaddening guys where he does a bunch of stuff real good, then seems to forget everythig he knows and just runs amok. Somewhat less of it this yearbut still enough I tore hair out. Work on the jumper, work on right hand, work on defense, and please, please figure out what you do - rebound, push tempo, point forward. When he figures it out, a legit beast.

it's creating missmatch and confusion to the opponent and make the opponent can't set their defense properly. It's generally a good thing.

want him to focus on defense and mastering his bully ball
his wingspan alone will never make him a shot blocker, but he needs to work on utilizing his athleticism to get his hands on the ball when defending against post up players. this will also help when he switches onto quicker 2s and 3s. he won't ever be a shot blocker or stout contender at the rim in my eyes, so it's better to focus on keeping guys uncomfortable with putting the ball on the floor.

bully ball - lock in on boxing out, getting the defensive boards, improve offensive rebounding because you really can't ever have enough, and tuning up what he is already skilled at. reducing turnovers and even using his post game to draw doubles and pass to open shooters is going to be huge for him.

i think him taking it in transition is a fun but also good option to take the opponents off guard as said above. him pushing the ball up the court with ball can make for an amazing duo. both are tall with speed....really exciting potential.

i don't mind if his scoring range only improves from 13 to 14 or 16 ppg. i really want to see rebounds in the double digits, like guaranteed double double guy. bully ball doesn't make the news during the regular season but in the playoffs when it becomes tougher for jump shooters, he is going to be extremely valuable.

He's just a small adjustment of mindset away from beast mode. I think he should view himself as a 15, 15 and 5 guy, and target that type of game. Like has been said above—rebound, then run the break like the beast he is. Charles Barkley bull-rush style.

I'm also interested in seeing how he will defend unguardable players like LeBron and Blake Griffin going forward. I think his defensive potential is huge and grossly untapped. His feet are quick enough for staying in front of wings on switches, yet he's strong enough to match PFs and small Cs.

If he could develop his 3-point range like say, KAT, it would really open up his game and next season will be his "year" to prove that.
