The Los Angeles Lakers had high expectations for rookie Brandon Ingram last season as they drafted him with the No. 2 overall pick out of Duke. Ingram failed to meet those expectations though as he struggled mainly with his shooting in the first half of the season
He shot just 36.3 percent from the field, averaging 8.0 points and 1.9 assists before the All-Star break. After the break however, he averaged 13.2 points and 2.5 assists, shooting 47.5 percent so he already began to show improvement.
Ingram should make big strides in his second season as he will look to continue building on his second half from last year.
