Entering the 2018-2019 NBA season, many expected Brandon Ingram to have a breakout campaign playing alongside LeBron James. After all, Ingram was entering his third season in the league and is something of a Swiss Army knife on the floor, capable of adapting to a variety of roles and situations.

Ingram has developed a reputation as a slow starter, and this season was no different.
