Ever since he was drafted No. 2 overall in the 2016 NBA draft by the Los Angeles Lakers, Brandon Ingram has been a polarizing player in the league. About half of NBA fans think he’s too skinny, can’t shoot, and lacks a consistent outside shot. The other half, on the other hand, has touted his defensive versatility, playmaking, and ability to get to the basket.
After being given the “untouchable” tag by Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka at the beginning of the season, the pair walked that back when they offered Ingram as part of their ‘godfather offer’ for Pelican’s big man Anthony Davis.
