Ingram isn't.
Gotta disagree there. I think those early WTN teams relied on DeMar very heavily to generate offense, but he's always been a willing passer. Kyle could score, but he could be streaky so you'd get stretches of games where he would carry the scoring load but then he'd have stretches where he would contribute but not necessarily carry scoring wise. Though I will say that I always felt like JV deserved more touches on offense, but didn't get them because of Casey's dumb ass and not because DeMar was selfish.
This team is a lot more dynamic offensively than probably anything DeMar ever played on. Still, kudos to BI for having that mindset and the ability to recognize where the defense can be exploited when they focus too much on him. My opinion is that this all starts with Scottie who is the highest paid guy and the (primary) leader of the team, he doesn't care who scores as long as the team is playing the right way.
Side note: Shead is awesome. I know someone said that he might be ready to start in a couple of years, but at the rate that he's been improving I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of this season or the beginning of next he was showing signs of being capable of being full time starter. I don't want to start a Calderon vs Ford debate because like another poster (I think it was YP) said "let's just enjoy having two quality point guards on the roster".
