First, lol, I know I have almost no basketball knowledge. It just seems to me he is a shoot first, never pass player. I saw it again on a number of possessions tonight. No doubt he has skills, but he seems like the odd man out on a team that is jelling.

That's actually the criticism he seems to get from a lot of people and Alvin Gentry even somewhat called him out on it after the first game. Gentry said we were playing too much iso and that's not how we play... but Ingram was the only one really playing iso.

To be fair to Ingram, he may be the best player on the team right now that you can just give the ball to and get you a bucket when your team's offense isn't playing well, although Zion is quickly showing he might be that guy already. At this stage, if Ingram gets a max contract next summer, I doubt it's from the Pelicans. It's one of the biggest concerns I had before that trade went down because I don't see him as a max player.
