I have preferred the Prince comparisons and expectations since he was drafted.
If he can sustain that level of contribution I would be thrilled. Prince was "only" a 14/5 /4/ 38% 3pt team leader in his peak years. His ability to play defense (individual and team) and contribute timely big shots was essential for the Pistons to win. IMO Ingram can be that player this year if not for a long career.
Trying to force him into an uncomfortable role as the leading scorer is not working. Just not that player IMO. Maybe he develops into that Alpha scorer but not this year.
He will have his nights when he is on and get over 20pts. But I see several players that can fill that role on the Lakers. I will not be surprised if they have several players in the low teens because of the inconsistency from night to night. Ingram will likely be another. Getting 10-12 pts for a couple nights then breaking out for 20+pts every few games when the matchups are favorable. Same as Randle, Kuzma, Lopez, Clarkson, Pope or even Ball. |
