Jerry Stackhouse thinks Brandon Ingram can be a top-five player ‘within the next five years’

If there is one thing to take away from the preseason for the Los Angeles Lakers — besides that LeBron James is on the team now — it’s that Brandon Ingram is ready to break out.

The sophomore forward was held out of the team’s final preseason game against the Warriors, but it wasn’t because he didn’t show out in the previous five contests, in which Ingram averaged 24.4 points and 7 rebounds per-36 minutes, including a 31-point and 9-rebound outing in which Ingram also dished 3 assists and swiped 3 steals against the Sacramento Kings.
