For a team that spoke endlessly about going small throughout the offseason, the Los Angeles Lakers are employing one of the league’s longest starting lineups — featuring one of the tallest shooting guards you’ll ever see. Brandon Ingram says he’s enjoyed that role, and think he can continue to get better at it.
After the Lakers’ win over the Dallas Mavericks, Ingram spoke to Bill Oram of the Athletic about playing yet another new position:
“I love it,” Ingram said. “I think me having the ability to use my length on smaller guys to my advantage, where I can use my length and move my feet on the defensive end and be able to shoot over the short guys, that’s been really good for me the last two games.
