Brandon Ingram isn’t a role player and his struggles at FIBA World Cup with Team USA are not a worry

    I’m not worried about bi they obviously don’t know how to use a player like him Kerr is so used to the warriors system you don’t just have a guy that good stand in the corner watching Austin Reeves run the offense 💀 L USA coaching bi should go home he’s just wasting his time and talent there

  3. YOUNG Killiminati

    Why would Kerr play him at the 4 when size matters in FIBA he should be on the perimeter it's like Kerr is trying to hold BI down he sees the threat that a healthy Pelicans team are. the mind games continue with him and golden state

    I’m only worried because BI is NOT the BIG MAN on the team……it’s Edwards ….that tell u how important it is for zion to become ZION FROM DUKE…..

    What I saw in this FIBA game today was 2 completely different teams. One with a total one on one mindset that after Ant man hit a couple of shots early, it became everyone for themself playground ball. the other, Lith played to their own strengths and were not awed by the flashy moves. Played good defense, hit the offensive boards and taught lessons in fundamentals. If Kerr doesn't get these guys off the black top and chain mail nets, they will be out in a hurry.

    Truth be told, we should be at peace if BI is relegated to the bench for the rest of those games. Last thing we need just before the start of the 2023 NBA season is injury risk to BI, already knowing his propensity for lingering injury. What should matter is our team finally being healthy to have all our star power available to contend in the west!! Lets keep Jonas for the heavy inside lifting and BI ready to do BI.

    BI play doesn’t worry me at all.. as long as he is getting some playing time and getting warmed up for the season

  13. Jose Bless

    The coaching of team USA is doing a bad job using BI. The ball should go to BI before any n Brunson, he’s selfish then the both of them n as good a scorer.

    That is the problem. He can't play a supporting roll, but he is not close to good enough to being the leading man on a good team. He is completely limited as a player. Better players than BI played a supporting roll for team USA in the past. Stop the excuses. This should be a big eye opener for the Pels
