Before the 2016 NBA Draft, Brandon Ingram was often touted as similar to Kevin Durant. That ultimately has so far proven to be a comparison mostly made due to the two’s similar body type, but if lately it’s seemed like Ingram is at least scoring better, it’s because he is.
“He pretty much is the offense. We can give him the ball and get out of the way and know it’s going to be a bucket. He scores pretty easily,” said Lakers rookie guard Lonzo Ball after Ingram scored 26 points on 11-of-21 shooting in a win over the San Antonio Spurs.
