"With Ingram, he's actually not been a huge part of the Raptors transition offense so far this season. As Darko has told me in the past: 'Brandon really helps us when things get slow. When we have to make it work in the half court.' To punch up against the Cavaliers though, you want to maximize everything."
"Against the Cavaliers this season, Ingram hit nearly a third of all his 'transition trailer' triples. Coming up the rear in case the Raptors didn't find the shot they wanted, finding himself open, and launching."
"It wouldn't surprise me if Ingram is not only going to be asked to be more willing to fire away in this series, but also, that the Raptors aren't drilling down on how they link the pitch back to Ingram into some of their favorite concepts."
