Brandon Ingram’s struggles have been one of the biggest stories of the Los Angeles Lakers’ preaseason games so far. The sophomore forward has looked confident but his play hasn’t warranted it, with Ingram shooting a team-worst 26.7 percent from the field while still launching 10 shots per game, which ranks third on the Lakers.
Ingram’s struggles have been a far cry from the hype he was receiving all offseason, whether it was Lakers President of Basketball Operations Magic Johnson calling him “untouchable” or saying he would be “disappointed” if Ingram didn’t average 20 points per game this season.
