He's been good defensively and great on the break. Just needs to gain confidence in that jumper and he's going to be a handful.

Maybe the upcoming matchup against Simmons will wake him up. If he doesn't get it together, he's gonna get destroyed. Simmons is just on cruise control right now...

Unfortunately, he is a long way from that.

It's hard to tell beneath all the tatts but he looks like he's shaping up physically. I've always thought he was more KG than KD as far as his physique.

I guess some people don't realize how hard the NBA is. Especially for a 19/20 year old.

Hmm.... That sounds like a good thing, doesn't it? Several rings, 6th Men of the Year. Good teammate. Starter for US national team. Borderline all-star. Nice comparison.

I don’t remember his jumper being this stagnant last season as a rookie.

Or maybe it wasn’t under the spotlight as much with DLO taking majority of the big shots?

What constitutes "mental midget"?

Like what areas of his game specifically speak mental midget?


I’m not sure why I need to clarify anything to you... this is a sports blog, don’t take what I said to be personal or serious. I like BI.

Lamar was great and should of played in like at least 3-4 all star games imo.

Getting caught smoking weed early in his Clippers days and then he kind of half assed his play during his transition to the Heat and then his early years as a Laker killed his chances.

Lamar from 2008-2011 was a straight up killer though and should of been in the All Star game all of these years. I think the NBA board of governors didn’t like his Kardashian reality tv connection tbh.

As for Brandon I still hope and believe he will be better than LBoogie

Lamar had nice handles. He could be trusted with the ball. I get nervous when BI is handling it.

Who said anything to you about having to do anything? And how did I communicate to you that I was taking what you said personal?

I simply asked a question, that's what we do here on this site. Make statements, projections, debate, and ask questions.

You made a statement, now if your purpose is to make statements and you have no interest in defending those statements that is your prerogative and I respect that. I will note that for future reference. That what you say shouldn't be taken seriously nor do you wish to elaborate on or defend your positions.

His shot has definitely been dull with no activity. Which is the definition of that word lol

I hope BI gets his stroke back somehow. His shot looked much smoother to me last season. He’s gotta get that confidence back

Agreed. I notice Ingram looks not that smooth to take shots this year too. Last year, it seemed he read and responded much smoother. This year, he seems to force things too much and think too much...

How much money? Cause I bet he's imitated Jack Sparrow at least once in his life.

Its been a bad road trip for BI you can see teams have been scouting him they have take away that drive off the high post and the jumpers are not falling he'll turn it around at home imo

I think ideally, Ingram would be a 3rd option who can pick up some of the scoring slack with the 2nd unit. No confidence in his jumper, his FTs stink, and his finishing on half court drives are very inconsistent.

Being thrust into the #1 scoring option early on was tough. He's sort of settling behind Brook as a 1B option, though I still think he's not ready for that role on a playoff level team.

With the trade, I feel like guys like Lonzo/Ingram were put into situations that were not completely ideal (Lonzo needing another facilitator at the guard position in half court; Ingram with having a more versatile perimeter scorer to take the load off of him). It's sink or swim and hopefully we get our 2 max guys who can help Lonzo/Ingram grow a bit more naturally into their roles.

with 2 max platers, BI can go focus on lock down D (and shoot 3)... imagine a 6'9 with 7'3 wingspan T.Allen

BI will be a STUD. His is clearly going thru growing pains (physically and emotionally). He has had some great games this year and has taken a big step forward. The key with his game is to get him involved early. He does not have the will or drive to force his way into action (it will come).
