I like it, I just wish Russell, Nance and Zubac would play more along side him.

And in those 8 games is averaging 14.5 points per game, on 53% shooting, in 7 of those 8 games has been over 50% shooting.... If he played like this all season, he may have been Rookie of the year...

Nice to see him shoot closer to the basket, and finding effectiveness there. He doesn't need to shoot that many threes. I'm sure that'll come around eventually.

Good to see him putting together a nice stretch. So is it safe to say he has turned the corner now? Lol

yeah I think so. 9 games in march is enough for these stats to actually mean something.


March: 12.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.8 blocks, 51.0 fg%

Those are legitimately, objectively impressive numbers for a player at his stage of development. He has shown steady progression month to month. It's crazy to think that he shot 34% from the field in 2016. He's shooting 43.6% in 2017.

Season fg% is almost at 40%, 39.4% currently.

I really like what Ingram is already... and can see something special there in the future. Very special.
He would be, basically, untouchable in trade, to me (yeah, sure.. everyone has a price.. but you get my point.).

Zubac? Would take *a lot* for me to move him. First off.. anyone asking for him has to acknowledge he's a top-half first round player.

D-lo would take a ton as well.

Everyone else on the roster and the lottery pick are available.

I'm not ready to say that. I'm happy with his improvement but I need to see him play this way through at least March. I think he can.

He's been quietly playing his best ball so far this season. I've been enjoying his game a lot lately.

Hope he continues this play and finishes the season off strong. Give him some confidence going into the offseason. Spend a summer eating, bulking up, working on that shot, and training under Kobe, I'm very interested to see how he will look in year 2.


Kobe is the perfect guy for Ingram to work with. Also, love having Magic around to help him see the game as a 6'9 play maker.

I couldn't agree more.

Looks like Lebron was impressed as well

Love to see the young play improving in front of our eyes. This off-season is going to be huge for his (and Zubac's) training and development. Expecting big things from both next year.

IMO one of the most impressive things I have seen from Ingram this season was how he went after Monroe in the scuffle with the Bucks. Showed some emotion and fight that I sometimes wonder if he has in his heart. Glad to see him prove me wrong.

IMO, he's performing as well as he can for his age group AKA the top 2017 draft prospects -

Quote:
Ingram is younger than Josh Jackson, a month older than Lonzo Ball, and a few months older than guys like Markelle Fultz and Jayson Tatum. Crazy.


Of course, playing in a unit that doesn't have Lou and Clarkson combining for usg% of 55-56 would kinda explain the jump in aggression (Just wondering why people are acting all surprised about this).

I'm more surprised Lou wasn't traded sooner. Ingram's year would have looked a lot different imo.

Because we were told according to some analytics he's the worst player in the nba

Big ups on pulling his fg% out of hell up to almost 40 this season. His midrange jumper is really starting to fall and he's showing good ability to absorb contact to finish near the basket. It's only a matter of time before his 3 starts to fall and he puts on some meat ala Giannas and takes his game to another level.

Zubac would likely be #2 if he got the minutes.

Good stuff.

I like to see how his overall game stats are so complete.

No further down the list then 7th in any category. And 3rd in a couple categories. Go Ingram!
