<p>The Philadelphia 76ers have the envious—or unenvious, depending on who you ask—task of choosing between Brandon Ingram and Ben Simmons. Both players have superstar potential, and both have their fair share of question marks.</p>
<p>With more big men than answers, the 76ers go with with the sharpshooting small forward over the playmaking hybrid.</p>
<p>Ingram is a two-way player with an elite combination of size and length for a small forward. Checking in at just under 6’10” with a 7’3″ wingspan, Ingram has the size and length to both shooter over defenders, and make plays defensively.</p>
<p>That much was evident statistically, as Ingram posted averages of 1.4 blocks, 1.1 steals, and 2.2 3-point field goals made per game.</p>
<p>Ingram’s drawn comparisons to Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant. That may be a reach, but Ingram has similar physical tools and an uncanny ability to score in ways that those who lack his physical gifts are unable to.</p>
<p>Ingram need to add significant muscle mass to his frame, but he’s a competitive player, a good teammate, and a tantalizing project as a potential No. 1 scoring option.</p>. Small Forward. Duke Blue Devils. Brandon Ingram
