David Griffin had his choice of trade packages. The New Orleans Pelicans accepted the Lakers offer in large part due to the talents of Brandon Ingram. Before a blood clotting issue cut last season short, Ingram was on pace to post All-Star caliber numbers.
His first season in New Orleans could be his breakout season. David Griffin stated that Ingram provided the team with a “special opportunity in terms of fit. ” Ingram has “elite playmaker” potential and “defends multiple positions.”
Ingram said he was finally able to control NBA games before his blot clotting issues were known.
