I doubt he'll be a PF. He's quick enough to hang with SFs and has an edge with his length at that position that's undeniable.

The Swiss Army knife used to be Odom. I'd rather groom Randle into that Draymond Green / Odom role as Ramdle's scoring output won't even touch Ingram's in a few years. Randle's game has holes in it that need to be hidden by designing a better use of his floor minutes. Ingram? The sky is the limit.

I'd compare his style of play not to Durant but more to a pre-injury Livingston in a Durant body (Shaun was quite a different player back then for those old enough to remember). Ingram does everything well like Green, but I think he's the wrong man to put in that role, he's gonna be way better than both Green and Odom in a few years. Book it. He is not a role player.

Ingram
Lonzo
Russell
Randle
Zubac
Nance
Clarkson
#28

Ingram has SO much potential to be the next KD. I mean, he can just be 80% of KD and it would be amazing for the Lakers. Hopefully he's working on that Jumper over the offseason. In 4 years he'll only be 23. Thats a lot of seasons under his belt.

Lonzo
Ingram
Russell
Zubac
Nance
Randle
Clarkson
#28

Top four players have all star potential. Randle probably has a higher ceiling than Nance but a lower floor. Clarkson and #28 are pretty close in value.
