Brandon Ingram Is Going to Be Alright

With a few games under his belt, Brandon Ingram is adapting to the NBA game

Raise your hand if your eyes got watery watching Brandon Ingram’s first 20-point game. You’re not alone, friend.

Ingram had to face off against his biological basketball father, Kevin Durant, once again Wednesday night, but had a lot more for his matchup this time around.

In just 27 minutes, Ingram scored 21 points on 7-for-10 shooting. Correct me if I’m wrong (I’m not), but I believe that’s 70 percent from the field, which is pretty good. Y’know, for a rookie.

Because of his thin frame, Ingram is going to need a little time to develop, but don’t tell him that. Not only did he finish the game leading his team in points scored, but he also lead his team in rebounds.

The former Blue Devil has a ways to go until he reaches his ceiling, whatever that may be, but if Wednesday night was any indication of what to expect from Ingram, put your shades on Los Angeles. The future is too bright.
