Everything changed for Brandon Ingram when the Lakers put the ball in his hands. There had always been opportunities for Ingram to create, but never quite so consistently or quite so explicitly as when Luke Walton made the second-year forward a part-time point guard. "When Luke gave me his vision, he just told me he wanted me to be aggressive," Ingram told CBS Sports last season. "Always, whether it's driving to the basket for myself or creating for my teammates. He just wanted me to try to push the pace and be who I am."
Or, perhaps, to become something more.
