"Like I said, it's tough to say from a short or like a small sample size. I think what's really impressed me is, like I said, how much he's bought into it. For a guy that's maybe traditionally not somebody that's been asked to guard a lot of guys, maybe just asked more of a spot-up shooter, guard more of a spot-up shooter out there or anything like he's really dialed into like our pressing,"
"I don't know if that's something he's done a lot in his career, but I think he actually haslike the natural build and like instincts for it. So, if he can tap into that, yeah, it'll be really interesting to see how it goes against other teams because I don't know, we're almost so used to it by now, by having that pressure put on us."
Questions centered on defensive strategy, offensive goals, and Brandon Ingram's fit into the Raptors' playbook. Brandon Ingram has bought into the team's pressing, aggressive defensive identity and is taking on more varied defensive assignments beyond spot-up shooting. He displays anticipation, effective use of length, and instincts that can disrupt passing lanes and opposing offenses. His natural build and instincts indicate potential to expand his defensive impact if he consistently taps into those attributes. Watching him against other teams will reveal how opponents adjust to intensified defensive pressure.
