Why are you even comparing them to begin with? They're both on our team. |
Yeah that is essentially the beauty of having 2 good young players |

Because that is what discussion forums are for. Nothing wrong with comparing guys on our own team. |

I'll take Ball overall, but I'm glad to have both. and Jules
I've been hot and cold, but his improvement this year has squashed all doubts.
It's a shame both Ingram and Ball both got hurt in the middle of them rolling. |

I do like how they give the opponents different looks. Gotta figure out how defend Mr. Fantastic and the Juggernaut. |

I agree, he's an impact player now, and for the rest of his career. |

I expect another week or two of "he says he feels good/he looked good today." To build hype, followed by "he's not cleared to play tonight" followed by "were not rushing him." On rinse/repeat despite the fact they already know how long they're likely keeping him out. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

So what's going on with him? Was he evaluated? All I've heard was "he's feeling better". |

This pretty much, but I’ve been more hot and cold on Randle.
Ingram provides a steadying presence out there that’s surely missed _________________ My Dream Starting 5 next Season

I'm glad we have about 3-4 guys to argue over who is our best prospect seemingly every other week.
On a side note, the KD comparisons are really unfair. He was the original unicorn, a dynamic two way Kobe archetype with 5 extra inches of height. If anything BI's playing style is closer to Lebron being primarily a slasher and playmaker, but he's gonna need to develop a protein fetish before he can even sniff those levels of play. |

I doubt he plays until next Friday at earliest.
Just going off how cautious they are with the young guys. It’s at the expense of winning a couple of more games but that seems to be their philosophy for this season. |

On March 5 they said he would be evaluated in about a week, so that should happen in the next couple of days. He won’t play tonight, he hasn’t been checked out. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Maybe the diagnosis is so minor that they probably know about it and aren’t in a hurry to put the re-evaluation status to the public, if he was gonna be out for a while one would assume someone would say it by now. |

They said it will happen over the weekend, we should know at some point during pregame |

Ingram is officially out for tonight’s game. He’ll be evaluated by team doctors at the arena to see when he might be expected to return. |

I don't understand why they handle the reporting of injuries the way that they do. Seems like this would be a good under-promise/over-deliver situation. Tell fans that you think it's gonna be a 3-4 week injury, re-evaluate him in 1, and then everyone's happy if he's back in 2-3 weeks. |

Tired of this baby-ing. Just let guys play. The team rules guys out without even evaluating them. Like what the (bleep)... |
