How Much Will Brandon Ingram Help The Toronto Raptors On Both Ends?

Episode 1923

What are the most intriguing aspects of Brandon Ingram joining the Toronto Raptors? Vivek Jacob is joined by Sportsnet's Blake Murphy to discuss Ingram's chemistry with Scottie Barnes, his impact on the team's three-point shooting, and his impact defensively.

The opening segment specifically focuses on how the Brandon Ingram - Scottie Barnes pick-and-roll can be effective. What has Ingram's time in New Orleans told us about what we can expect in Toronto? Jacob and Murphy also examine how crucial Barnes' development as a screener is in this aspect.

Next, the discussion focuses on not just Ingram's three-point shooting but his playmaking. Ingram attempted 6.5 threes per contest last season and that will need to hold if not increase with the Raptors. What's the best pathway to get there and beyond? Both Jacob and Murphy consider Ingram's playmaking and passing ability to be a bit underrated and so they look at how his drive game can create more three-point opportunities for the team.

Finally, the defence. Is Ingram better off as part of the Raptors' backline or along the perimeter? How does that impact the rest of his team? We have seen Barnes excel in the back line but he may now need to continue to improve his defence on the perimeter so Ingram can slot in where he's best suited.
