His undeveloped body also seems to be an issue. Finishing around the rim is just way too challenging. This negates his otherwise excellent drive in ability.

and stop bringing up cetics into the discussion. bradley can get away with low assist numbers because that's his role. IT dominates the ball and horford is the secondary distributor. the offense would crap out if bradley was asked to dribble around and make plays for his teammates lol
so with all these tools, what is the player comparison for ingram??? im seeing some greak freak there using his length to get to basket.

I had nothing to add to your gay comparison. Thanks for offering your opinion
I mentioned Greek freak in reference to Ingram using long strides and full extension on those drive dunks shown on the highlight reel shared by jackal. I wasn't boxing him as him being the only player he will project

He has no real strength to cover shooting weakness to be a playable player in this league for most teams. Everything starts from shooting.

I'd say KD ultra lite if there is anything like that. But minus the shooting and massive 7' frame.
Everything about this kid still depends how well he develops shooting. This guy was picked so high largely because of shooting potential(above 40% from 3pt range in college) but turns out he's so shit, he barely makes little over 60% freethrows. That's terrible.
He has no real strength to cover shooting weakness to be a playable player in this league for most teams. Everything starts from shooting. Lane will opens up. Defenders will close up and stick.
at least someone is replying to comparison question.

Jackal wrote:I didn't answer the comparison because I think we covered that one already. I think he's similar to Otto Port Jr., Otto didn't have a shot coming out either.
I do think Ingram will/should be a more complete player but I haven't watched Port on a consistent basis to say what he can and can't do. From the 2 (?) games LA played against them he seemed to be a pretty decent 3&D type of guy.
I don't know what I hope Ingram to be. It won't be KD, they don't have a similar style of play, people just say it because of their body types. Hopefully can be the next Ingram and become a cornerstone for the franchise.
Does a Ball - Russell - Ingram - Randle - Black line up work? Will there be enough spacing on the court besides Russel's streaky shooting nights?
What happens if George decides to join LA next off season? He's gone out of his way to say he doesn't want to play the 4. Is Ball more of a 2?

are you guys (lakers fans) paying attention to fox and smith jr or are you all in on Ball?? i would personally would not want to have the hometown pressure even being a factor, nevermind the lavar situation.
It's fun hitting a random number between 1 and 137 and going to that page to read whatever was happening at that point with the Lakers franchise. This thread and the Chicago Bulls thread are gold mines.
