Ingram looking like a completely different player the past few weeks. Dude is showing a ton of promise on both ends.

I've yet to see JJ Reddick do a single positive thing in maybe 10 games I've seen


He's a net Negative

The mix of length, ball handling and agility, its hard not to see him becoming a star. If he can get that jumper to be consistent, he can be an all nba type talent.

He looks much quicker/more fluid, maybe it's just my eyes though haha. He seemed almost sluggish at times earlier, he looks so smooth now.

But yeah every prospect gets to that point where you can just tell it's almost a lock they'll be a star if healthy. Like Giannis post-ASB in 2015-16. Ingram's hit that point imo.

This is the best I've ever seen the Lakers play this season.

Guess those 3-4 days off helped a lot.

I don't think the scouts leading into the draft mentioned Ingram's BBIQ enough (and honestly I missed on it too). He makes such good reads.

Ya hes not the most explosive athlete but he doesnt need to be with his height and freakish length. But like you said hes very smooth, the dude is just so agile for his size. Its crazy to think hes only 20 years old and he is showing tons of flashes already. LA fans should be pretty excited about him.

Also goes to show not to toss rookies under the buss as trash for what they do early on. Ingram looked really rough the first half of last season and you could see it slowly start to click for him late in the season. Thats why I think its way too early to call Ball or anyone else a bust already.

Lakes gotta dare Simmons to finish at the rim or make FT's and cut off that kickout game.

His ballhandling + passing is advanced for his age. Idk why people act like he’s not good at anything

This is going to be a brutal loss for the Lakers if they manage to blow this


They really need to stretch this to 15+ by the half imo

Literally nothing at stakes for us man. Would be nice to get one in this brutal stretch though.
