Serious. At least next time someone accidentally knocks a gatorade bottle onto the court, we'll know that BI will be able to pick it up and still make a layup without skipping a beat.

i'm thinking Ingram will average about 21/7/3 this year.
That would be awesome
I just remember how he was playing before he got hurt and he was close to those averages Of course he won't be handling the ball as much with Lebron a lot more spot up threes and off dribble mid range shots this year I know this is the 3 point era but Ingram is outstanding at driving to the rim and finishing at a high level and Lebron is simply the best at it in the world Can you imagine the pressure thats going to put on defenses having two guys who can do that Can't wait for the season to start

One of him and Kuz is going to get the #2 option shot opportunities and average 20 PPG on volume alone. I feel like Kuz wants it more, and is just a more natural scorer, but BI will likely be the starter - so we'll see. Having said that, even 18 PPG from BI on higher 3-point shot volume and better FT% would be a win to me, as far as his scoring. The big thing for him is going to be adjusting to an off ball role with LBJ + Rondo here now, and still getting his shots in the flow of the offense.
I think we’re a better team if both Kuz and Ingram can average around 17-18 points rather then one of the two turning into a 20+ scorer while the other stays at 15-16.
Having two near 7 foot wing players dropping buckets next to one of the GOATS is a scary sight. I hope they find a way to get those three in the same lineup for major stretches in the game. _________________ “Life is too short. You have to keep it moving.” - Kobe

I agree with this, and it's what I was expecting..
I think he meant wingspan @Yin.
Edit.. 7'3 wingspan for Ingram.. Not sure what Kuz's is.

I kind of disagree. If BI develops in to a legitimate all-star level 20+ ppg second option, that's better for us in the long run (and short run).
Having one star and one "solid" guy will always trump two "good" players.

If BI can improve his FT%, and shoot more 3s at say a 36% clip, I think 20ppg is very real with LBJ giving him easier looks. Remember, the team's best defender was usually on him last year. Now, they're guarding LBJ. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

Kuz is a gunner...he'll likely take the 2nd most shots next year...then BI...then it might be Ball or KCP.

1. LBJ - 26
2. Kuz - 19
3. BI - 18
4. KCP - 15

or even another way to view it is because of age and pedigree.....the Lakers benefit most from Ingram and Ball developing into All Star level players in regards to asset values.
