"The Raptors have not been an excellent offensive team all season, they have been easily bogged down in the halfcourt and typically have deferred to Ingram to bail them out."
"This team's offensive identity under Darko Rajakovic had been built on pace, ball movement, cutting, and continuity, whereas Ingram was bringing with him a long history of high-viscosity hoops."
"The way this past week went is certainly evidence that putting the ball in Barnes' hands more is needed, but we have to remember why the Raptors traded for Ingram to begin with."
The Raptors have struggled offensively, often relying on Ingram. However, they scored over 139 points in two games without him. Ingram's playing style contrasts with the team's focus on pace and ball movement. While some suggest Scottie Barnes should play point guard based on these games, the context of the opponents must be considered. The recent performance indicates a need for more ball handling from Barnes, but the rationale behind acquiring Ingram should not be overlooked.
