And Ingram can't score 20 and set-up his teammates?
You'll have to hope simmons to be a lebron-ish shooter to be that guy. Ingram, you'll just have to have him pass more. Ingram is already THAT skilled of a scorer and is a willing passer. He scores/shoots like a guard. The only guy who can match-up size with him is KD.
Does he though? Low FT% and meh 3 pt % for a guy who started slow and finished horribly
For all the talk about simmons dissapearing some games, ingram also sucked in many games.
Can he create enough spacing on his shots?
2nd youngest player in the draft (Bender is 2 months younger). Spent the beginning of his Duke career getting into shape, which he did a damn good job considering how he looked in HS. Additionally, there were nerves as an 18 year old playing at Duke against the best basketball conference in the country.
That would be like complaining that Simmons didn't really show up against ranked teams (stats considerably worse) en route to a 2-4 record against them. He's a freshman; not a machine. Same goes for Ingram. If you can't see Ingram for his ability as a scorer, then you're just blindly supporting Simmons.
