"I don't think the expect me to pass the basketball when i have it, I like to set the table I like to make sure everyone is involved-when everyone is involved on the offensive end you get everything on the defensive end from them, it's easier to communicate on offense and defense when everyone is involved, it brings a different energy to the team when everyone is involved"
"Ingram put an emphasis on involvement, saying that he wants to make sure that it is not just him getting his shots and getting his touches, but his teammates as well."
"What's really impressed me is how much he has bought into it... he is really dialed into our aggressive, pressing style of play... I think he has the natural build and instincts for it"
Brandon Ingram plans to emphasize playmaking and team involvement rather than only scoring, stressing that involving teammates boosts offensive and defensive communication and energy. He wants teammates to get touches, countering the perception that he is merely a volume scorer focused on mid-range shots. Coaching staff, led by Darko Rajakovic, is stressing defense and an aggressive, pressing style that suits Ingram's physical tools and instincts. Jakob Poeltl praised Ingram's buy-in and defensive engagement. Ingram has already impressed teammates with his increased effort on defense and now must translate that commitment into the upcoming season.
