Adding Ingram is a game changer. We need him to stay healthy.

Guy hasn’t improved in 3 years

I disagree. He tried to expand his game his tepid results. He needs to reigned in with a focus on what he can excel at. Unfortunately, it may not look like a max caliber player but if he can have a positive impact on both ends it's a problem for later.

What does he excel at offensively though is the question. It's not like if he stops chucking up bricks from 3 that he magically becomes a decent offensive player.

Basically a more refined version of what CMB is doing but with a mix of midrange shots and superb passes to the open man.

I saw how Scottie looked next them in game 1 he’s a horrible fit.

Because he wasn't playing like that, he needs to buy into an optimal role for team success. Learn how to screen. Stop settling for midrange etc.

Ingram at the 4 really unlocks the offense. I dont know how often we can do that when healthy, but its an awesome line up

Essentially implying Scottie is more of a star role player than star outright

What were the comments

They asked him who the next Aaron Gordon was. Someone who could really excel in a lesser role and he said Scottie.

If he’s not hitting mid range or 3s he has no offensive game guys come on man

Kings hiding Demar and Murray there so we can do it unfortunately it’s going to be to their disadvantage more often than not. Kings are going to be in the lottery and blow it up at the deadline.

I actually think he looks worse in a lesser role. His Potential was predicated on being an on ball player that could create for himself and others but he didn’t have the skill set for it. And if he can’t do that then he really has no role offensively because he has no off ball game to speak of.
