The no.2 pick out of Duke in the 2016 NBA draft, Brendan Ingram has had a strong second season with the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite missing over 20 games this campaign he has been the Luke Walton's best offensive weapon, leading the franchise in Field Goal Percentage from both inside and beyond the 3-Point line.

His numbers all across the stat sheet have seen a jump, most of that has come with more minutes but those additional minutes have been provided to him because the team can finally depend on him more often than not. Whether that's in the clutch or just from a playmaking standpoint.

The part which should please the Lakers the most is the degree of maturity Ingram has shown this season, which is pretty staggering considering that he is still just 20 years old.
