Point guard Brandon Ingram arrived almost inevitably last season as the Los Angeles Lakers were ravaged with an injury bug for their guards.
During Ingram’s rookie year, the same experiment was presented by Luke Walton as a way to get the wiry wing more involved in the offense. The overall process seemed forced and made Ingram confused about when to get his own shot versus getting his teammates involved.
The situation left fans with mixed feelings about whether they wanted to see it again or not. Thus, when Luke was presented with this opportunity again, he chose to start point guard Ingram.
