Will Ingram take a step up or has he hit his ceiling?
You can guess at all these things, and fans will always lean to the positive side. But there is no objective data that says we will know what half our roster will be. Really only one guy on the team who we KNOW what he will be next year. Everyone else has a pretty wide range of outcomes
