If you watched the last two New Orleans Pelicans’ games and had to guess which player would represent them in the All-Star game, your answer would undoubtedly be rookie sensation Zion Williamson, who has exceeded his considerable hype and been dominant since returning to the lineup.
But the correct answer would be Brandon Ingram, who has quietly become one of the top power forwards in the league. Ingram has been spectacular this season, averaging 24.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists, all career highs. However, with Williamson missing a good chunk of the first half, Ingram has toiled in relative obscurity, as the Pelicans got off to a poor start and got very little national attention from the media.
