Brandon Ingram

Brandon Ingram was the second-youngest player drafted in 2016, but he certainly didn’t look like a rookie once he got onto the court. Resembling an experienced and confident veteran against the New Orleans Pelicans late in his first season, Ingram went to work as he got by Jrue Holiday with a quick crossover and then exploded past his help defender before finishing at the rim with a high-flying slam. Ingram divvied up 15 points, five rebounds and six assists in a solid all-around effort, helping the Los Angeles Lakers pick up a 108-96 victory on April 11, 2017. The second overall pick and future NBA All-Star enjoyed a solid first year in the league, averaging 9.4 points across 79 games to gain a place on the All-Rookie Second Team.
