Over the last few weeks, Los Angeles Lakers forward Brandon Ingram has seemed to turn a corner. He’s become the team’s go-to player and is also now the Lakers’ leading scorer at 16.2 points per game, surpassing rookie Kyle Kuzma.
Much of Ingram’s improvement has had to do with his increased aggression attacking the basket. Ingram is much better at absorbing contact this year compared to last, and using his length to finish over, around, and through defenders.
His jump shot, however, remains a work in progress. While his shooting numbers are up across the board, they are still below average overall.
