Brandon Ingram, the next Durant/Greak Freak?

Probably. He's a legit prospect. Simmons is more likely to become a bust.

 

I agree with that aswell. I don't see anybody panning out in this draft. Hield could be special, as I view him as a slower Damian Lillard but other than that, maybe Sabonis can become a DMo type player but that's it... he's nowhere near what his dad was. I wanna see what Bender can do though

 

I really like Bender. He can do something that Porzingis can't - pass the ball at an elite level. I think Bender might become a longer, more athletic Pau Gasol.

 

I don't care much for the Players Tribune as a whole. Just seems like its trying to hard. Or maybe it was the Kobe letter... whatever.

But Ingram's is pretty decent. Seems like a smart, hungry kid.

I think he has all-star potential easily, maybe more, but depends on how his game progresses.

It should also be noted that his birthdate is 9/2/97... which means when next season starts he will have just turned 19, so he is incredibly young. Basically only 3 months younger than someone like Lebron was his rookie year, even though Bron did the straight from high school to NBA thing.

Ingram on the Celtics or Pelicans could be scary down the road.

 

I think Simmon will be Pippen if he pans out. Issue free Odom if not. No way he is Lebron.

But the chance he reaches Pippen status, is probably only 10-20%.
