The LeBron James and Brandon Ingram pairing during the 2018-19 NBA season together with the Los Angeles Lakers was something of a rough fit.
It had become clear over Ingram’s first two seasons in the league that he was at his best operating with the basketball in his hands.
Obviously, that all changes once James joined the team. While players like Kyle Kuzma and Lonzo Ball were comfortable playing off the ball, it was a major adjustment for Ingram and it showed throughout the season. But in the end, it was a learning experience for the young player.
