The New Orleans Pelicans need more from Brandon Ingram on the defensive end.
Even though his offensive play has mostly been stellar, Ingram has yet to show the type of defensive improvement the Pels were hoping for under Stan Van Gundy.
A big part of this is not his fault. The New Orleans Pelicans lack defense in a lot of areas and do not have the type of elite defenders that can cover up some of the weaknesses Ingram has in that area.
