I really am starting to think LO is a better archetype for him. Unfortunately he doesn’t have anywhere near the weight and rebounding ability.

Well LO are/smoked a lot of other things

Remember LO was a highly heralded guy who was supposed to be a Magic type player.

Hmm LO? I dunno.

LO would have been content never scoring. And he could rebound.

I seriously doubt they care about what anyone on this board has to say.. He still took contested midrange shots.. He doesn't even resort to taking those shots, it's a go to shot for him. It won't change until he receives better coaching. He's encouraged to do exactly what he's doing.


I've been more disappointed in the coaching staff than any player on the roster. I think the writing is on the wall. When push comes to shove, Magic will give Ingram the benefit of doubt and fire Luke in the offseason.

Understood, but I don't think so. Looking more like Wesley Johnson to me right now. Might change in future

Is Ingram behind the curve in his devlopment? Maybe. But what is the standard we re judging him against? KD? AD? He’s definitely not that. But look at Simmons even, still has a major hole in his game. He’s 21! He’s definitely got to mature physically. On top of that he now has to adjust to playing with the greatest player alive who dominates so much of the ball and the offense. That has been hard for established veterans and all starts in this league and took time. Even Wade and Kyrie struggled early on. Again , he’s 21. There’s so much potential. He’s got the size , feel for the game , raw talent and most importantly he’s a hard worker.
I wish more people would have some perspective and chill the F out.
You can say that the timeline doesn’t work and we should trade him. But to conclude that he’s a bust or to think right now you know what type of player he’s going to be at his best, is simply idiotic.

I don't think Wes had the skillset BI does.

Never been a big fan...

But I am all the way done with Ingram.

Nothing else to see here.

Time to trade him.

Comparing BI to Odom is like
Comparing Caruso to Magic. Or Adam Morrison to Worthy.

Forget mid range, how many contested 19 footers is he going to take?? Can someone stop him from that at least?

He has the tools to be really good, it’s just nobody is showing him how to use them correctly. Or at the very least, stop using them incorrectly.

Again with the hyperbole...

Odom only matched Ingram's shooting last year once in his first five years...

His TS% was 48% in his third year.

I liked Odom but his career shooting percentage was 53.4% and Ingram shot 53.6% at the age of 20.

He was a better rebounder, stronger and better player at this point... but some of you are acting like he was Worthy.

His career average was 14... the same as Ingram's poor performance tonight.

Forget the KD comparison. I just wanted to see him build on what he did in the 2nd half of last season. Was hoping for 18/4/4 with around 4 3PA on at least league average ts%. Almost 20 games in and he hasn't really shown much if any progression from last season. Still afraid to shoot 3s. Still tries to get everything in isolation while dribbling out the shotclock. Still in love with midrange and long 2s. This is bad coaching and player development imo. The coaches are way too laid back.

Just doesn't get the separation that KD gets.
Why is that?

Nah man. When we compare players we aren’t saying they have to be exact facsimiles. But the mindset. I’m not convinced about BI being a premiere go to high volume scorer. I do think he couldn’t be a helluva utility player who can be a jack of many trades like LO.
