I don't see primary ballhandler and PG as the same thing, but maybe it's just semantics. PG I assume you're guarding other 1s too.
The shooting aspect is huge. Interested in seeing how much improvement is there.
That Ingram long form on SI was really good. Didn't realize he's the 5th youngest guy to be drafted in the 1 and done era. I still thin that he might be the better prospect of the 2.

I do wonder if they are going to make Greek into the full time pg if we're talking semantics

I'm confused how the pendulum seemed to swing back into Simmons favor while he past month or so before the lottery it seemed most people has coverted to Ingram as the top prospect.
I can see Simmons having a higher ceiling but I just think Ingram is so young and pretty much a lock to be an efficient 22ppg scorer.
I'd take him first just because I don't see a way he doesn't become a perennial all-star.
Everyone is making it seem that Simmons is a lock to better at everything but shooting but his length will make it hard for him to defend bigger guys in the post plus I'm not so sure about his rebounding.

Your position 99% of the time is who you can guard.
Ben can be a primary ball handler at the SF/PF position.
he's not gaurding PG's full time so therefore he is not a PG.

Two things that I'll monitor as time passes in regards to Ingram's potential is he's a two foot leaper and he doesn't have the most explosive bounce. Not that it will prevent him from being an All-Star, but just curious to see. But his length will make up for it, I guess.
Edit:
This is probably what as made Durant as great as he is, because he always was going to be a big time shooter. He absolutely maxed out his athletic ability.

So you dont think Ingram can guard 2s? Since you said it was a dumb idea to put him there
- 33,733

I mean maybe he could, but I think it's highly doubtfull you would want him doing that for a whole game.
plus its more valuable to be a quick 3, than a slow tall 2 gaurd.

I think his wingspan could make up for his lack of quickness guarding a 2 but id only put him there til he bulks up. Didnt Paul George start off at the 2 cuz they had Granger at the time?

If Ingram gets his handle up y'all think you can live with him being an average three shooter? He'd be able to attack the rim more consistently and with his length and much needed added weight finish in traffic.

Yes, Paul George started as a SG, but he's more athletic than Ingram.

1. PG's a better athelte
2. What advantage are you gaining by having Ingram at 2?
In the modern NBA; Quick>Tall.

Why is quick over tall? And Ingram being slow is why I never liked him as a prospect. Clearly slower than Durant and giannis

Somewhat agree. Don't think Ingram is necessarily a two foot jumper tho. Durant is definitely the better athlete but I'd say that's only like 10% of his game and he's at his best when he keeps it simple. When he plays like that there's not much he does that Ingram can't do.
Giannis is more of a guy whose game is based on his explosion

In the halfcourt going to the rim, he's a two foot leaper from what I've observed.

Completely agree...
AND no one knew that he was going to be able to have THAT kind of handle for his size.
