"After Raptors Media Day, I like to think Brandon Ingram is just as excited as anyone in Toronto to get the ground running with his new team. He's been out of action for nearly a year ( last game played on December 7, 2024), focusing on rehab and getting back into peak shape. We all know how talented Ingram is on offense, especially in isolation and his patented mid-range game."
"While long two-pointers have been his signature, and he's comfortable with that style, the Toronto Raptors really need BI to embrace the idea of shooting more threes. It's not that three-pointers aren't part of his game, but given what Toronto needs, he must take that next step and focus on catch-and-shoot opportunities. And achieving that shift is definitely within his reach."
"However, Hollinger also brought up Brandon Ingram's offensive integration, saying ( YouTube link here): Brandon Ingram must embrace floor spacing growth "[Scottie] Barnes and [Brandon] Ingram both really want to be on the ball ... I mean, could [Brandon] Ingram, if you can convince him that threes are worth more than twos and he should shoot a few off the catch - I think could be [sic] a more potent floor spacer than he's been in New Orleans.""
Brandon Ingram is returning to full activity after nearly a year away, his last game on December 7, 2024, with rehab focused on regaining peak shape. Ingram possesses elite isolation scoring and a signature long two-point mid-range game. The Toronto Raptors require him to expand into consistent three-point shooting, particularly catch-and-shoot attempts, to improve floor spacing. Team personnel have expressed strong praise for Ingram, including Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, Jakob Poeltl, and head coach Darko Rajakovic. Advanced analytics and lineup samples indicate roster murkiness and suggest that converting twos into threes could make Ingram a more potent floor spacer.
