Ingram-Name an IA player like him

Iowa-Bound Patrick Ingram Takes Flight - YouTube

I cannot name one person--maybe two: the body/leaping of james winters with the moves Monter Glasper.

Has some D Moore in him.

Once he really solidifies his outside game, he is going to be something special.

+1

(hopefully a better free throw shooter.)

Yea no kidding.. Have you ever seen Moore play in the PTL? The guy is a strait up baller still. He can shoot better now in that setting anyway better then he ever did during his college days. He's still a heck of an athlete

A shorter Eric May. Strong,good leaper, limited perimeter game.

His build and jumping ability reminds me of Andrea Wooldridge but his game is probably more like Mike Henderson.

With that athletic ability I sure hope he likes to play defense.

There's a replay of the Indiana JR. vs. SR. All-Star I watched- which I wouldn't recommend doing- and he does come across as a guy who enjoys playing some D. I'll provide the link, but it really isn't worth anyone's time.

I don't like the May comparison at all, Ingram is stronger with the ball and much, much quicker with the ball. May can run and jump, but he really slows down when he has to handle it, Ingram is quick and choppy- almost more like a football player than a smooth basketball player.

I hope you're kidding with that comparison. While Eric may be athletic, he absolutely does not have the basketball skills that Ingram appears to have.

I thought I heard Fran say at an I-club event that Ingram wont be playing in the PTL. Does anyone know why?

Ingram wanted to play in a couple of Indiana All-Star games. After talking with McCaffery, Fran encouraged him to stay in Indiana for the summer- he is also competing in an Indianapolis summer league, which I believe provides some good talent to play against.

 

[CAARHawk]

His shot looks a little Cartwrightesque.

It appears he can dribble without looking down, also with his left hand and he pivot's with the correct foot. So no, I really dont see the Eric May comparison.

I will reserve judgement on Ingram til he gets on the court for Iowa...maybe he can be a glue guy, but I have doubts about his tweener size. I would be surprised if he was as good as Eric May(All Big Ten Frosh team) as a frosh.

he could be twice as good as May was as a freshman and still not make the all freshmen team because unlike May, he actually has a team around him

 

[HawkeyeShane]

I can't put my finger on a comparison, but I think I <3 him already...holy crap! As for his "tweener size"...if this whole "basketball thing" doesn't work out for him, I'd LOVE to see him play FS for Kirk and Co.!

 

[jacknicholson]

He certainly looks like he will fit into Frans plan as well as any of the other incoming recruits. He and Meyer get the least amount of attention and acclaim, but I have a strong feeling they will contribute significantly.....

Last season some of the experts said that the Hawks had the best transition team in the Big Ten at one point in time. Next year it might be a bit longer than a point in time. These guys can run and gun at top speed.....

It's all good.....

 

[BuiltLikeWilt]

i say Val Barnes-ish with some improved shooting

Anyone can get all freshman team by simply being one the court if they have no one to compete with for playing time.

Patrick Ingram is clearly better than May, which is really saying nothing, and it shouldn't take anyone with any ability to evaluate basketball more than a few seconds with the ball in his hands to see that.
