With all the attention surrounding Lonzo Ball and his vocal father, LaVar, the steady improvement of the Los Angeles Lakers’ No. 2 pick in 2016, Brandon Ingram, in his second year has flown under the radar.
After failing to make a lasting impression on fans during his rookie campaign, Ingram has looked the part of a superstar on the rise. In fact, Ingram is one of five players under 25 averaging at least 15 points, five rebounds and three assists per game. The others are Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
