hes been carving up the gleague all year. averaging 16, 12.5, 5.5

the problem is its not common for these undersized bigs without plus athleticism to thrive against lesser competition like college, gleague, or some leagues overseas. they struggle in the NBA

From a March 8th article:

Where Ingram, 23, wants to be is with the big club, playing the blue-collar role he said Spurs coach Mitch Johnson has defined well for him.
"It's rebound, space the floor, off-ball impact, and it's being, I wouldn't say a dirty player, but like a Dillon Brooks sort of player," Ingram said.

Looks like that’s what Mitch wants Ingram to become. Maybe he can be a late bloomer…

I value quotes like this because it gives us a peek in Mitch’s brain and we see how he wants to build the team. Again, more hints at what type of player that could be coming to the Spurs in the future.
