Lakers: Takeaways From Thursday’s Exit Interviews
Everyone is buying in on Brandon Ingram
Have you jumped on the Brandon Ingram hype train already? If you haven’t, now would probably be a good time.
After starting the season a little slow, Ingram showed flashes of superstardom in his final games with the Purple and Gold. The improvement he’s made from the start of the season to now has blown everyone away.

Randle on Ingram: “He’s so long man … KD (Durant last night) didn’t really look (different). I don’t think strength is an issue for him."

Young = big Ingram fan (calls him “Tiny Dog”): “This is Tiny’s town. This isn’t B.I. in November. This is B.I. in March dunking on people."

Ingram also said some things that Lakers fans should be really excited about, like how he’d like to be “the best player on the court” every game next season.
If he can build on what he showed in the final few games, there’s no reason Ingram can’t be.
