When the Los Angeles Lakers snagged Brandon Ingram in the NBA draft last year, some thought he was the next Kevin Durant. On the other hand, not every opinion corresponded with that prediction.
The secondary opinions did not mean to suggest Ingram had no potential. However, his wiry, Spiderman-esque build exhibited that his potential was not going to be seen instantly.
The raw talent was never in question, yet some questioned his ability to score with authority nightly. They suspected that a thinner frame would surely prevent him from driving to the rack (which was certainly the case here and there).
