Culver because of his all around game. I.e. I don't see Barrett as a ball dominant player that you want to build around, whereas Culver's secondary playmaking skills make him more valuable across the board, imo. Any team can build _with_ a guy like Culver.

When Ingram is in his prime he’s going to be way better than Culver will be in his prime. It’s like comparing Kevin Durant to Jimmy Butler. Not saying either will become those players, but Ingram’s upside is out of this world if he ever reaches it. Culver isn’t going to be a franchise-changer, like Ingram can be.

What are you guys reasons for preferring Ingram? The main thing I see separating them is his pedigree as a scorer coming into the league is undeniably higher than what Jarrett has done. And BI probably has a slightly tighter handle
Was thinking about this last night. It's common to knock Culver for not having a "superstar wing" first step ala Paul George etc, but Ingram is an example of how he could succeed at the NBA level without blowby speed. The advantage BI has is he's so long , he is able to stride to the basket and get the ball up on the rim even if the defender is on his hip.
Culver has those same looong strides and the ability to extend his arms and finish with english. Plus his upper body is like twice Ingram's size so he can take contact and finish strong. If you believe he will develop his jumpshot at the next level, there's an argument to be made that he can be a much better version of Ingram.

Over the 2nd half of the season, Ingram was a 20/6/4 guy on over 50% shooting from the floor and playing good versatile defense. Ingram can get to the rim whenever he wants and finishes at the rim at a high rate (68%). That is a hell of a skill to fall back on.

Length, Ingram can’t only handle the ball, he’s extremely long with huge hands, can easily draw fouls and finish through contact. His defense can be a game changer with his length, like the kind of player that effects an entire team’s defense. Ingram can literally have an unstoppable shot like Durant and he already has been developing a turnaround fadeaway that can be lethal with more practice. He can never be Ingram, physically they’re completely different with completely different skills. I actually think it’s hilarious you think that because it’s so far from reality. It’s like declaring you’re actually a penguin.
