BI has been playing great. I have no idea what games you all are watching.

I expect him to have a good game tonight.. and I never predict him having a good game.

He's a solid player when he's trying to facilitate, and that's what he'll be doing tonight.

Yeah, great is a bit strong but he has been very solid and had great moments I guess is the more accurate way to say it.. He deserves some criticism as all the young players do when its valid the thing that gets old is when people over compensate in either direction.. None of our guys are anywhere close to being busts but they also have a ways to go to be considered all stars like you said and when they have a horrible or great game it shouldn't lean drastically in either direction because that's kind of what young players do as they develop.

Ingram is learning several roles while still being pretty young.. Even Kobe fought with that throughout his career when to get in scoring mode more or when and how to get everyone else involved (not saying he's anywhere near Kobe's potential obviously). I hope one day he can hone it all in together and be a solid 20ishpg scorer while being a play making threat and a solid defender but most games he is still only showing pieces of that entire puzzle. I am still hopeful and like seeing that he is clearly trying to find that balance considering how much less iso he is doing lately and more play making which we seen in the 11 assists game you mentioned. It's too bad so many fans have to try and trash another team mate to lift up there "favorite" player. At the end of the day if we want to win they all have to play well.

I think people who always criticize him have high expectation on him. However, Ingram has already shown a lot of improvements since his rookie season and has shown flashes of being a good player. He is just not consistent. However, which young player is consistent indeed. Simmons was supposed more mature/ready than Ingram. But show no much improvement in fact and is far from an impact player. 1 year earlier, Towns and Russell, both are not mature/consistent either. Ingram has grown significantly in his second year. However, he was asked to play off-ball like Kuzma and is always compared Kuzma. Can you imagine Tatum or Mitchell playing off-ball. Be patient and give him more room to grow

I wish he would take more shots.

Has he even come close to taking 30 shots in a game?

I swear BI fans in this thread either don't watch games or have zero observational skills. BI has a very low Bball IQ. He tries to take it himself way too much and turns it over or misses his shots. lol @ the stans saying he should take more shots. He's way better off if he thought pass first and never shot. he takes the Lakers out of so many games when he's trying to run the offense its a wonder why Luke keeps trying that. Let alone some Laker fans not seeing how low his bball IQ is.

he has all of the physical traits to be a all star but he's years away at the least. only a idiot coach would keep lettting him run the offense, especially in the crunch, or a coach that is trying to tank. it makes me laugh how so many low IQ's here think the rest of the team is so bad when they're better than a lot of other teams 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc. best players. ignorance is bliss. and too bad Luke keeps allowing BI to take the Lakers out of games. just because he gets hot in one game and sucks the next 3 doesn't mean (bleep).

just dropping in... Let me guess. people are complaining this underdeveloped 21 year old is not leading a depleted team to a victory against the golden state warriors?
