"One thing that would make putting the ball in other guys' hands more effective is if Ingram could find his way to more threes. That's one of two main things Rajakovic said he wants to see more of from Ingram moving forward, along with him being more involved in the team's transition attack both with and without the ball."
"Ingram has hit 40.1 percent of his catch-and-shoot threes this season, third among the team's rotation players behind only Quickley and Ja'Kobe Walter. But on a per-minute basis, he attempts fewer of them than everyone except Scottie Barnes, Jakob Poeltl, and Collin Murray-Boyles."
"Overall, though, the early returns on Ingram's Raptors tenure have been objectively positive. He still meaningfully improves spacing with his on-ball gravity; the attention he draws opens up pockets of space in the halfcourt that simply weren't there before he arrived."
"His presence has nudged other players on the roster like Barnes and Barrett into more natural roles, and has raised the team's offensive floor."
The Raptors faced a strong opponent and were unable to secure a victory. Key players Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes, and RJ Barrett had difficulties, while Ja'Kobe Walter and Collin Murray-Boyles performed well. Ingram's shooting, particularly from three-point range, is a focus for improvement. He has a high catch-and-shoot percentage but attempts fewer threes than most teammates. His ability to draw defenders enhances team spacing and allows other players to thrive in their roles, positively affecting the team's overall offensive performance.
