Fans got the chance to see the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, Brandon Ingram, face off against Kevin Durant for the first time this season.
Ingram has drawn comparisons to the Golden State Warriors’ superstar because of his thin build and his ability as a scorer. Durant showed Lakers fans why that’s a good thing Saturday at T-Mobile Arena.

Durant finished with 17 points on 7-for-11 shooting in 22 minutes. A lot of those points came while Ingram was defending Durant.
Ingram had a decent night himself, finishing the game with the most points he’s had all preseason. His 12 points on 3-for-5 shooting isn’t going to get anyone too excited, but any flashes of his All-Star potential is good.
Ingram looked the most comfortable he’s looked all year despite going up against a tough defender in Kevin Durant. He showed his ability to make shots from deep and even was aggressive in attacking the basket.
While he might have a ways to go before he can earn the respect the former MVP has earned in his career, Ingram has all the tools to be a special player in this league.
