While some of the Los Angeles Lakers wanted to slim down their body fat and got in better shape, other teammates wanted to bulk up their figure and add strength to their build. That was the case for Brandon Ingram, who quickly saw the benefits of adding muscle to his frame throughout his rookie season.
After adjusting to the physical style of the NBA, he understood the importance of strength, particularly when at the rim and as his rookie season continued, the 20-year-old steadily put up better results on the court, unafraid of the opposing team’s defender.
