LeBron James signing with the Los Angeles Lakers probably changes the role of Brandon Ingram role more than any other player on the roster.
Last season, with low-usage guards accompanying him on the perimeter, Ingram was asked to have the ball in his hands when his team needed individual shot creation. While he’ll still get plenty of opportunities as the Lakers look to reduce LeBron’s ball-handling responsibilities, this season will almost certainly be a significantly different experience for Ingram than last year.
That’s isn’t a bad thing. Ingram posted an effective field goal percentage of just 41.
