Brandon Ingram finally making those Kevin Durant comparisons come true

You don't have to close your eyes and imagine Brandon Ingram fulfilling that long-armed potential that had many comparing him to Kevin Durant. A career-high 40-point night Monday against the Brooklyn Nets — Durant's new team — might be proof that Ingram is on stardom's doorstep and not the tantalizing but frustrating prospect he was with the Los Angeles Lakers. The vision, the control with which the New Orleans Pelicans' top scorer gets to his spots on the floor — even if he takes up plenty of space sometimes, an aspect that will certainly be addressed when Zion Williamson debuts — and the hint of an edge that flares up every now and again will make Ingram an intriguing restricted free agent in July.
