Brandon Ingram has taken his game to another level and looks like an MVP candidate early in the 2020-2021 NBA season

Last year felt like a coming-out party for Brandon Ingram. In his first season with the New Orleans Pelicans, the 22-year-old became an All-Star while averaging 24 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists per game. As a result, he won the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award.

Thanks to that performance, Ingram even earned himself a 5-year 158 million dollar contract in the offseason.
