| Kuzma would be the clear cut 2nd option if he could just hit these open 3s at a decent rate |

Lol... you could say the same about Ingram.
I do like Kuzma's confidence the best of the young guys... but you are so biased against Ingram it's hard to take much from your posts.
I realize you could say I'm too optimistic about him... but I'll say when he has a bad game.
You seem to mostly post about his failures and little else. |

Am I really against Ingram or are you just overly affectionate about him?.. I said Kuzma because he seems to be the ideal fit next to LeBron as hes not ball dominant. If he could get the 3p% back up to the 36% area from last year he would score 20 a night easy next to LeBron.
Its worth noting that I’ve definitely acknowledged when BI has been good .. it just hasnt happened much so far. Tbh I’m not very high on any of our guys right now other than LeBron and JaVale. |

I don't think you are wrong in what you say... and unlike some others you interact in a pleasant way about it.
But I do notice a larger ratio of negative to positive posts about him even though he's actually played well the last few games.
And I don't seem to see a lot of Kuzma or Lonzo negativity from you... though I admit I'm on their boards less.
I don't think Ingram has made the necessary improvements yet.
Randle showed way more growth in his "third" season than BI has so far.
But I feel he puts great quarters of play up... and it's only a matter of time before he starts stringing quarters into halves... and halves into games.
If he can get up to 54% to 55% TS efficiency... get his FTs to over 70%...
get his threes going a little more... I think he's worth keeping.
I'm defensive or protective of him, as I am of Svi, because people jump all over them because they don't have that alpha personality.
I get frustrated with the guy too... but I just feel it's way too early to throw in the towel on him.
People think Beal will change everything... but if he's winning nothing in Washington... I'm not sure much will change here either. |

Oh trust me I’ve been on Lonzo’s ass especially in game threads. Hes been frustrating me a whole lot but i also understand that he basically missed an entire summer. This compels me to be a little patient ..
With Brandon its just the lack of progression thats irritating me. Year 3 I hoped he would get to the line more, shoot a better FT% and at least attempt more 3s with confidence. Havent seen either. Maybe him and Svi are just in the wrong system idk. I just think year 3 for someone like Brandon will tell a lot about his ceiling and so far its been disappointing. This guy was selected behind Simmons.
And Ive stated this before Beal is a good strikeout option.. not a 1st 2nd or 3rd option .. gotta go for KD, Kawhi, Klay & Kemba first |

| ^^ and just to add, with Kuzma he is what he is. Volume scorer. We all know hes a terrible defender one of the worst in the league, probably the only reason that i dont harp on him about it. Its like beating a dead horse i guess. |

Ingram won't take the 3's so there's a pretty wide difference in the statement. |
