This guy deserves a thread! Great story and great debut a long time in the making...can he make a late season RoY push?

I hope he plays his way into a contract!

I really hope we treat this next game like a playoff game in terms of intensity, win for for AI!

We got our own A.I.!!!

What a great story. LA loves sny hard working persevering underdog. The whole city is full of them, albeit in another industry.

That’s why people loved showtime lakers so much, their defense, their tenacity, their never quit mentality...

How’s his defense, lol?

Unfortunate he won’t be eligible for ROY next season.

That 3 pt shooting of his deserves a spot somewhere.

Andre Ingram or Kentavious Caldwell Pope...

Ingram. Far less costly and just happy to be there. (Based on one game

)

Neither.

Best case scenario we get either/both of George/Lebron and play either Ingram/George at the 2.

Worst case scenario we struck out again. Then Josh Hart will get his as the starting 2.
I sorta have a non homo crush on Donte DiVincenzo after the National Championship Game. I see him in the same Kuzma/Hart mold.
I'd nab him if we don't get any star wings to backup the SG/SF spots.

If we do get the star wings then our pick would be better served adressing the backup PG/C spots.

Either way, if injuries are a non issue next year, I'm 100% certain of a playoff run even if we don't sign any max guys, just on plain internal growth alone. We have a very talented core as it is right now.

I forgot about the three blocks. I didnt pay close attention to the game. How was his defense?

Yes. I agree with that.

Add a bench shooter.

A.I. 48%
P.G. 27%

Lol

Andre Ingram is a little small to be a big 2 pt shooting threat in many instances. He's not known for having super handles to create space for himself.

But man... I do think he could be very good for us if we have a health roster that takes pressure off of him. If you leave him open it's free points.
