Now in his second season, Brandon Ingram says he’d like to be the closer for the L.A. Lakers. The main obstacles to that happening are strength and confidence.
It’s too early to judge a lot but overall his stats are certainly better:
Through six games his minutes are up, his field percentage has gone from .402 to .429, his three point shooting from .294 to .308, his free throw percentage has moved from .621 to .692. His rebounding is slightly down (from 4.0 to 3.7) but assist, blocks and steals are all up. His scoring has moved from 9.
