Sure, that's possible. Every bit of knowledge is going to help, though.


Ingram doesn't need weeks of Kobe's time. If he can get two or three 2 or more hour sessions with Kobe, that will be more than enough. Kobe lays out the game plan firing those sessions, and it's up to Ingram to put in the work on his own in the weeks/months that follow. More importantly, it would benefit Intan if they can develop a relationship where Intan can text or call and pick Kobe's brain a few times throughout the season.


Exactly, and really, that's is all he needs, to be honest.

Remember when Kobe got a few hours with Hakeem.
Did that improve Hakeem at all?

Thanks GT. Appreciate the time and effort put into these.

Disappointed Ingram still needs work on his shot. Excited though about the Lonzogram combo.

Yeah I'm not saying Kobe will take days or weeks off his schedule for Ingram. But he'll probably give him a few hours and a few sessions to work on a few things at his house.

I'm hoping for 12-15 PPG, 7-8 RPG, 2-3 APG from him this year.

Kobe works out regularly regardless. If BI can make it to Kobe's house 2-3 times a week for an hour each time, that could help him the most. This way it lets BI work on the things Kobe showed him and Kobe can see the progress a few days after.

Poorly researched article. Says Ingram has 7'0" wingspan.

I don't think Ingram averaging 20-22PPG is unrealistic, he can do it, him getting stronger is key to that being a reality, I expect a few 40 point games next year.

Ingram looked poised, confident and like a guy ready to move up to the next level. He flashed some of the things he can do last season. But now that he’s got a point guard like Ball to run the break and deliver timely passes, the thin-as-a-blade Ingram will run the floor and be a top-notch finisher. He’s got the length and ability to also develop into solid defender. On those rare occasions when Lakers fans manage to take their eyes off the Ball, they’ll see another budding star in their midst.


hell yeah

thats a stretch.... but I can see where they are coming from.

Eddie Jones was skin and bones. long for his height, athletic enough, could score off the dribble, could drop 20 to 30 points on any given night, could run virtual point guard if need be, and was a great perimeter defender. but he had problems with bigger stronger guys if they took him down low on the block it was over for him.

So yes BI is pretty much a 6'9 super long version of EJ's game. I dont see BI being some prolific scorer. neither was EJ. but every now and then he would go off and put up the numbers. I think BI will do that during his career as well. The one thing he might have in his favor is that no one posts up on the block like that or backs people down. so BI may never have to face his JR Rider(anyone who knows what I'm talking about remembers that nightmares JR use to give EJ.)
