"It has been a long time coming folks, but you can finally cross it off the books, Brandon Ingram is back and he has officially logged playing time with his new Raptors team. After almost a year on the shelf and endless questions shooting left and right about his fit in Toronto ( perhaps a 'radical strategy', as one has coined it), it was really refreshing to have tangible metrics and tape to draw off of for Ingram in his new journey,"
"In his first game as a Raptor, Ingram scored 19 points on a 63.0% true shooting percentage in just over 22 minutes of play, marking a very solid debut, to say the least. His second game against the Kings was equally impressive, with a well-rounded performance: 21 points on 46.7% shooting from the field, 71.4% from three ( a stellar 5-for-7), six rebounds, and three assists in just over 23 minutes of action."
"I think that first game against Denver was a great introduction for Raptors fans to see what Ingram is known for when it comes to his scoring. Out of his twelve field goals in that Nuggets game, six were made: four within the key, one off the high post, and one from the top of the key (his lone three-pointer in the game). All of these shots reflect common strengths in Ingram's particular style."
Brandon Ingram returned to game action after almost a year sidelined and appeared in two Raptors preseason exhibitions on October 6 and October 8. He scored 19 points with a 63.0% true shooting percentage in roughly 22 minutes in his debut. He added 21 points, 46.7% field-goal shooting, 71.4% from three (5-for-7), six rebounds, and three assists in about 23 minutes against Sacramento. He exhibited scoring versatility, finishing inside the key and spotting up from deep, including a perfect 4-for-4 first quarter from three. The two-game sample suggests sustained scoring threat and an immediate offensive lift for Toronto.
