As the offseason went on, one constant that every fan of the Los Angeles Lakers heard was how good Brandon Ingram looked. After a solid end to his rookie season, and a promising summer league appearance, there was plenty of belief that Ingram would take another step forward.
The expectations only raised when President of Basketball Operations Magic Johnson said he would be disappointed if Ingram didn’t average 20 points this season. General Manager Rob Pelinka added that Ingram will be the team’s primary playmaker down the stretch of games this year.
This has only made Ingram’s start to the preseason that much more disappointing.
