I mean this is exactly what the rhetoric was this time last year too, after the first summer league practice. Excited to see some improvement though!
I see him as a several-years long project still. Not sure if he's going to make the big leap everyone wants him to do this season... Think it is likelier to happen season 3 or 4
If Magic is calling him untouchable and KD himself says watching Ingram "is like looking in the mirror", the kid must kill it in practice. I'm thinking year three is when we'll see these qualities consistently in games. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

Yep, BI is going to break out this season. He couldn't buy a bucket for the first half of the season. Nor could he get a foul call going to the basket and it made him hesitant. By the end of the season he was dunking on fools every game and consistently scoring double figures on 50% shooting. If he can get to 35% from 3 this season, look out.
Ingram said today he has a totally different mentality. He wants to get back to being a defensive stopper, and is disappointed in his season last year. Knows he can be better.
I hope this isn't just lip service.
The defense or whatever they are doing they are calling defense needs to change. It has been just terrible for several years now.
Calling out not just the players, but the coaches....it isn't that complicated really is it?
I'll take great offense and worry about the defense later. We have neither at this point and defense is easier find in the way of role players.

Lonzo is going to get BI so many easy looks without him having to go one on one and working hard to score while he builds his frame.

Ingram's problem is missing open shots so it will be more dependent on him improving than Lonzo's effect.

Year 3 is when I expect him to have a breakout season as well, and maybe win Most Improved in year 4 like Giannis. I do expect to see his numbers improve across the board this season, probably something similar to what he averaged in march last season _________________ My Dream Starting 5 next Season

Ingram's outside shooting definitely needs to improve, but Lonzo is going to help him in transition and find him when he cuts off-ball for some nice dunks/layups.

Ingram's shooting has to improve big time if we are going to even win 30 games. Shooting under 30% from 3 isn't going to cut it, so hopefully this year he's at 33-34%. Also, he's got to convert from the FT line as that mark is poor too. He's young, but he has a lot of work to do from a skills department. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

Yea I mean obviously his shooting needs to get better, every other post in his thread is about his shooting. I don't think "he has a lot of work to do from a skills department" is all that accurate. He clearly showed great footwork from the high post. Haven't seen too many rooks become that effective from midrange.

Disagree. FT/3s/shooting form/etc. are skill related. Right now we are banking on his elite measurements more so than elite skill level. I think has a high work ethic so he can reach his ceiling, whatever that is. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

Hoping for a more efficient and aggressive Ingram this year and I'll be happy, quite honestly. Doesn't need to look like a star just yet. _________________ Austin Reaves

Maybe some people are banking on his elite measurements. It certainly does factor into his projected ceiling. My point is "he has a lot to work on from a skills standpoint is an overstatement. One of the reasons for many who are optimistic about his future is the fact that he exhibits skill in other facets outside of shooting. We can agree to disagree though.
I love this interview with BI, reminds me a lot of lonzo in how their answers are brief, focused, and just give you the idea that the only thing on their minds is basketball and improving themselves.

No doubt, I mean the kid is barely 1 month older than Lonzo and younger than a lot of kids in this year's draft. Judging his skill level based on last seasons' struggles could lead to a distorted view of his actual basketball capabilities _________________ My Dream Starting 5 next Season
I would love it if Ingram is a 17 and 6, defensive monster next year.
To me, that is very realistic for him. He needs to be more assertive of course on offense to do it, but that is exactly what we need from him.
He shows some really interesting signs defensively. Sure some guys can bully him with bulk but he can do a lot of things with closeouts and such that are impressive at his size. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny

A player in his Age 20 season has scored 17ppg+ 28 times throughout NBA history, and not once did they score less than 10ppg in their rookie season, but there's a first time for everything, I suppose. Buckets are gonna have to come from somewhere this year.
Yeah in hindsight maybe an average of 17 ppg is high.
That means average, so lots of games have to be 20+ which may be pushing it.
How about 15 pts, 6 boards, 3 assists on 38% 3PG, 48% 2PG, 79%+ FT?
With more effective, consistent defense of course. This guy should and will be bothering guys he is guarding this season. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny
