Los Angeles Lakers: Brandon Ingram is praised for his improved jump shot

With the third overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers selected swingman Brandon Ingram from Duke. In college, Ingram was one of the best players in the country. His size and speed made him nearly impossible to guard, and he had a lot of success in his only season in college.

At Duke, Ingram averaged 17.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game. With his high points per game average also came a good shooting percentage beyond in the arc. In college, Ingram was able to shoot 41 percent from three-point range.
