The Los Angeles Lakers still have ways to go before becoming contenders in the Western Conference. However, they should take some steps forward this season. If they are to move forward, their younger players have to begin blossoming. One player that the Lakers have high expectations for is Brandon Ingram.
Ingram is entering his second season in the NBA. The Lakers selected him with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. He drew comparisons to Kevin Durant coming out of Duke based on his frame. If he wants to ever get close to Durant’s level, Ingram has a lot of work to do.
