How will Brandon Ingram Peak at New Orleans?
What is going on sportstalkers here we are again with another short basketball talk and todays topic os will Brandon Ingram peak at New Orleans? As the second pick in the 2016 NBA Draft Brandon Ingram brought high expectations to LA but after an inconclusive tenure in Los Angeles is he poised to break out in New Orleans this year.
To begin with you may not realize that Ingram really played guard for the majority of last season matching up with opposing guards two-thirds at the time according to nba.com matchup data while shouldering playmaking duties in the pick-and-roll on offense he is handle is good enough to get him places and he likes that spin move but he lacks verticality to finish well at the rim.
Ingram finished in the 53rd percentile in reveal goal percentage last year a bit underwhelming for a 6 foot 9 player with a 7-3 wingspan he doesn't make up for that lack of hops with strengths he's often bumped off his line like this by sturdier players and instead Ingram uses length to overcome these quick twitch shortcomings.
More importantly he takes these loping syncopated steps that throw off a defenders timing notice how darn long these things are it's one step from the free-throw line all the way to the hoop. So basically Ingram have the tools and gifts but the ultimate thing he lacks is the muscle to expands his talent to the next level.
