With Ingram, you know what to do with him.
Skal has been ripped and sat by Calipari all season. I have a hunch Watson could get him going.
Bender is an unknown and likely a huge defensive liability.

Watched some highlights of Ingram last night, admittedly for the first time and he does remind me a lot of KD. Long, wiry, but fast, coordinated, great handles and a good shot. I do echo your assessment of Simmons vs Ingram in terms of reaching their potential. Ingram seems like a guy you can slot on any team and he'll be able to get you buckets in any role on offense. Simmons, I feel will take some time to get into the flow of the offense unless a team is built specifically around his strengths.
