Shows how bored some are on here. They’ll lie to themselves that something extraordinary happened in a 4 months span to a 25 year old

He doesn't look any bigger, which is fine for the role he plays (SF with some SG).

I don't think he has the base or frame to bulk up. He is narrowly built (like Durant). I'm glad he is working on it, but can't see him radically changing his physique.

I wish we had someone really knowledgeable about basketball conditioning and body types that could contribute. Most of us are so lost talking about it and it shows..

im more referring to people saying he grew another couple inches, but even weight wise he looks the same which is fine.

Yeah I think there should be a unanimous agreement he has put on some good weight.

I try to wonder though if we had a legit rim protector and BI dishing plates out (because out of everything that stood out at tUSA Practice was his playmaking) we could start Trey and Herb together. Thats for another discussion another day though.

According to twitter Ingram is showing to be the best facilitator on Team USA….

If Ingram is the best facilitator on this team USA….the offense should run through him.

I saw the Select vs USA team and you can see how well he finds the open guy. Also, Detroit have great young players in Duren and Cade.

Yeah Detroit is a sneaky bright future team. They are 2 years away, but will sneak up on some teams.

He's maturing and filling out. He's going into his 8th season. He's been working with professionals for a long time. I'd expect him to keep evolving. Its part of his performance cycle. Statistically he's at or past his peak. So this should be a monster year for him (especially with an extension looming). He should be living in the gym, all good signs. I just wish Zion was with him. I just don't get a feeling that they are in sync with one another, like we all hope they would be..

Hopes should be up. There’s no other direction to go.

Dude stop. Prime years go as high as 30 on average in the league. He's not even 25. Just stop.

No they do not. That is very rare. You expect Ingram to have a 10 year prime?

This is a list of the MVP list from last season (LINK Lots of 23-26 year old guys. Do we really expect peak Giannis for another 5 years? He's already starting to show a breakdown from wear and tear..

Pretty sure brmark has him retiring in 3 seasons, didn't he say last year that BI wouldn't play more than 10 years?

You guys take this too personal and I'm pretty sure one guy is related to Ingram somehow and always runs in to protect him against any slight.

What I'm saying is a statistical average. People counter with anecdotes. I said Ingram would be done by 30. I'm holding to that. Maybe I'm wrong, but the odds are dramatically on my side. The wall comes for everyone.

I don't see how this is an insult for Ingram. This is his prime. Is that debateable?

Don’t divert the argument.

The common age of 1st time NBA champions by great players is 27/28.
Jordan Durant LeBron Curry Jokic Dirk Shaq…

It’s not personal, you’re just wrong.

Ingram is approaching his prime now.
