Ingram is one of the best prospects in the draft only behind Ben Simmons who went number one in the draft. Head coach Luke Walton will be able to pair Ingram and D’Angelo Russell together along with Julius Randle for many years to come.
It is not like the Lakers to hold high draft picks but over the last three years they have done an excellent job in the draft one would think. It’s up to the coaching staff and the players to develop but for now welcome to Hollywood Brandon Ingram.
