Brandon Ingram

[WI#1Dukie22]

Not sure the kid gets enough credit. What a total monster!!!! Can simply do it all. He fills the stat sheet and also does a ton of the things that don't show up on the stat sheet.

Loved K's gameplan today, especially his use and protection of BI.

Enjoy this guy!!

What a talent. I've said it before how happy I am that HOF Coach and UNC decided not to recruit him.and that UNC nation and the basketball guru's over at THR felt he wasn't an UNC type player because they are correct he is not a Tar Heel type player, he's a Duke type player. OFC

I know it's hard to believe, but some people just don't like nanner puddin. OFC

Next in the line of some really terrific one-and-dones Duke has had the last 5 years or so. He is really coming into his own, and really learning to use his match-up advantages, like his length or face-up game when guarded by a second big.

He's as skilled a player I can remember coming through Duke

Kid's a beast. Wish Duke could have 'im for another season. Added to what returns and what's coming in???? Number Six. End of story.

He's better than Deng was despite the weight difference, and Luol has done very well.

I was discussing this with a friend. If Ingram was to stay another year at Duke who would be better between him and Tatum? I was telling my friend I would go with Ingram but he was on his head saying Tatum would be better.

Not sure. Deng was pretty sick...though I fully admit Deng played on the better team and that probably created an advantage. But BI is pretty damn good too.

Hard to say. But it ain't happening.....with regards to Brandon being here next season. So we'll never find out. Regardless, we're pretty lucky to have the both of them around while we do.

Yeah, no way to know really... different teams. Ingram is the better shooter, Deng was better on D and around the rim perhaps. They may get the chance to square off soon enough.

Ingram is beasting while playing the 4! Imagine what he is going to do when AMile comes back and he plays the 3! I could see Duke making the final 4 if Amile comes back and produces like he was!

 

[hallside]

I think BI is quickly becoming our best wing OAD. He shoots better than Jabari but finishes at the rim just as well. Handles great for his size, and seems to be a decent defensive player knowing his length. He projects great to the next level. Hopefully he just keeps getting better.

Deng was not asked to shoot 3pts. Deng played closer to the basket and had more weight.

Deng was past BI in many areas.

If not for his financial commitment to his family, Deng would've stay at Duke at least two more years. He enjoyed college and wanted to work on his game.

I think something lost on Ingram is the fact that he doesn't even turn 19 until September, he's basically the same age as many of the class of 2016 guys.

I think when it's all said and done he will have one of the very best pro careers of any Duke product, his game is made for the league.

He did shoot 111 of them in his one season.
