Brandon Ingram: A New Star Has Emerged

Brandon Ingram has emerged as one of the top young players in the league in the 2019-2020 season and future cornerstone of the New Orleans Pelicans. Depending on who you speak to, you’re going to get differing opinions on the 2016 draft. The draft class is still littered with uncertainty, is there a true star among them? Is Ben Simmons a franchise player if he never becomes a decent shooter? Was Jamal Murray worth 5 years $170 million? Is Domantas Sabonis a franchise cornerstone or just a high-end role player? Among all the questions surrounding the 2016 draft class, one has been undeniably answered so far in the 2019-2020 season: Brandon Ingram is an All Star level player at age 22 and has the potential to develop into a franchise player going forward. The emergence of Ingram may come as a surprise for some who may have written off the 22 year old forward a little prematurely after his first 3 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers left a lot to be desired.
