He is having a great season and is making a case to be closer to Simmons than everyone else

Seems like a relatively weak game today. 5-14, only 5 boards and no blocks.

Anyone see it and know how he looked?

Was a little to passive today. Everyone on Duke took awhile to get going today. I think they were looking forward to ACC opener Saturday

Much of his poor shooting came in the first half. He picked things up in the second half.

Impressive game for Ingram today. 25 points 9 boards and 3 assists in his ACC road opener. Shot 50% from the floor and 4/9 from 3. Showed some of his best skilled moves of the season so far in this game. Also played great D, he was great on ball

Starting to fall in love here, looking more and more unguardable with that size and skillset. And we're not even seeing the hops/athleticism that will have much more opportunity to shine in the NBA.

I wasn't that high on Ingram before the season and after the first few games. It wasn't just that his shot wasn't falling. He didn't really show much of a skill set and was poor on D. Something has clicked with him and he's showing a ton now. He's starting to score off the bounce and attacking, his D has been outstanding as well. His on ball D out in the perimeter is pretty impressive. So I'm loving the skill that he is showing now offensively and like you said, he hasn't even shown the explosive athleticism that he has because he hasn't had too. Still waiting to see him do it against better competition, but love what he has been showing lately

He kind of reminds me of a young McGrady. If I had the number 1 pick I would have a hard time deciding between Simmons and Ingram. Simmons is obviously putting up the jaw dropping numbers but Ingram has so much potential that it makes you at least think about it.

Not sure about the Mcgrady comparison. But ya I think Simmons is the much safer pick, but I think Ingram has the higher ceiling. His potential is sky high

The whole premise of making absolute assertions about the draft stock of a just-turned-18 year old was silly in itself.

That's what makes Simmons so special. Simmons is putting up incredible numbers yet his potential is what is jaw dropping, the most exciting prospect since Lebron.

Ingram is lighting it up from beyond the arc

EricAnderson · Post #114 » by **EricAnderson** » Sat Jan 9, 2016 5:36 pm

He's so smooth and has such a nice stroke and can take it to the basket as well..7'3 wingspan

He needs to fill out a lot but his offensive game is pretty damn polished for his age..he's over a year younger then Simmons

Brandon with an easy and quite 12/4/2 at half only on 6 shots. He's also been the best defensive player in the game as well. With a couple charges called and 4 blocks

The Skyhook · Post #116 » by **The Skyhook** » Sat Jan 9, 2016 6:16 pm

Ingram continues to display that he is not only a scorer but a very capable playmaker as well.

The Tayshaun Prince comparisons are dumb as hell.. I get their both very long and skinny but that's where it ends..

Ingram is 10x as polished offensively..

I rarely see the Tayshaun comparisons. The most common comparisons are Giannis and KD lite.

His offensive skillset is much higher than Giannis at this stage.

It's a horse race. Ingram is coming up the inside rail.

BTW, I take Ingram over Wiggins and Gianis. IMO, Ingram has better two way potential than the other two, IMO.
