When the Los Angeles Lakers drafted Brandon Ingram with the second overall pick in 2016, it was believed that he was a project that would take time to grow into the player he could become. His rookie season was proof of that.
Ingram struggled mightily throughout the season, particularly with his jump shot, and Luke Walton had him play multiple positions, including point guard. As the season went on however, Ingram began to show improvement and flashes of his potential.
Now as he prepares to enter his second season, expectations are much higher for the Duke product, but he is prepared to take another step forward.
