The one coach who focused hard on getting BI off ball and taking 3s (SVG) got fired because of a number of reasons, but one of them - according to Bleacher Report - is that Brandon Ingram really disliked him.
He has talent. I don't think anyone is denying this. But he plays a prehistoric form of basketball that does not work in 2024, and he's not even the best at that form of basketball to justify it. He's a top 60 player who would have been a top 25 player in 2003, but it isn't 2003. If he hasn't realised that by 2024, I'm not willing to pay him to see if he realises it by 2027.
