Agreed. As much as I'm a DLO supporter, I can absolutely see Ingram reaching higher highs. However, the thought of a fully actualized Ingram/DLO makes me giddy, even theoretically speaking.

Nothing we haven't seen before. Moving right along then.
I'm perfectly fine where Ingram is. I still don't really see him muscled around too much. It's weird to think that I believe he has the highest upside. |
At this point I would say that Ingram has surpassed where I thought he would be. That ball IQ is really impressive. In the last game the Nuggets were on a break and you could see Ingram identify where the ball was going, he got to the spot and stole the pass. That wasn't an accident or athleticism, that was smarts.

His month in January helps give a lot of hope.

Over the last 8 games, he has averaged 12.4 PTS, 4.1 REB, 2.8 AST, and 1.4 3PM, on 49/48/65% shooting.

wow, everyone abandoning DLO? I am just being dramatic. Still think DLo is the most likely of the group to be a franchise player. |

Absolutely not. To the contrary, seeing a nice emerging young core of DLo/Ingram/Jules/Zubac (the under 23 guys), and Nance/JC too.

Also, let's hope that unlike Dwight, he also doesn't father Brandon II, III, IV, V, and VI with 4 different women before the age of 24.

Wonder why his free throw percentage is so bad, does it have to do with his form or just a practice thing? |

I think it's pretty neat there are definitely arguments for all of DLO/Ingram/Randle to reach their ceilings.
They all have incredibly high ceilings. It'll be interesting to see how far they go. Yes I'm adding Randle. |

It was a problem in college too.

He shot about that percentage in college too. Although, it may just be a confidence issue. He was making them earlier last year. About 70-80%, but it has dipped recently. |

His motor is starting to concern me, more than Randle's, who has proven he has an extra gear despite his inconsistency.

That is just the first step of him being the great player a lot of people expect him to be, next year is when he will break through after a handful of good games to finish the season. |

Here's how I see it so far.
DLO: highest skill level amongst DLO/Ingram/Randle; but also shows lack of fire, low motor, lack of fight.
Jules: highest fire/fight/motor (when he gets it going), probably least skilled of the trio.
Ingram: is the best mix of the two (skills/intangibles).

As far as Ingram and his body goes when compared to Dwight or Davis. Dwight was already 240 when he was drafted out of high school, and Davis was already 220 coming out of Kentucky.
The argument is that both Dwight and Davis have gained about 20 pounds since their coming in. So Ingram could.
or Ingram's body could go a similar route to that of Paul George's where it doesn't really change much outside of just maturing into his body but only gaining 5-6 pounds. |

I would bet he ends up somewhere in the middle. |

Randle has that gear, but you only see it when he's pissed off, or the team is front-running. He can't really will himself to shift into that gear. At least not yet. It's not much different than Russell in sniper mode. |

Ingram has the best motor. It's not sexy, but you can count on it not to die on a medium range trip to Fry's.
You need AAA on speed dial with the other two. |
