"Brandon Ingram averaged just 12.0 points on 32.8 percent shooting from the field in his five games played in this series. Trading for him looked disastrous."
"Toronto knew they needed more offensive firepower, but Ingram didn't offer it. To make matters worse, he doesn't fit the team's style."
"Fans certainly don't want to see Ingram over-dribbling the ball and slowing things down. They want to feed Barnes' preferred style and find a better fit."
"The Raptors need more shooting, playmaking, and overall offensive punch to make a deep playoff run. Sadly, if Ingram was on the floor, he wouldn't have been one of them."
Brandon Ingram's performance in the playoffs was disappointing, averaging 12.0 points on 32.8 percent shooting. The Raptors performed better without him in the final games. Ingram's style does not align with the team's fast-paced play, and his significant contract complicates matters. Scottie Barnes emerged as a superstar, highlighting the need for the Raptors to build around him. The team requires more shooting and playmaking to advance in the playoffs, making Ingram's trade essential for improvement.
