mean this isn’t really debatable though, he was a good to very good defender in LA. It’s simply a matter of will, effort, and priority.

Lebron was in his arse about defending in LA and the Lakers had him out there guarding guys like Kyrie:

It's not debatable because you have one link to one game where he defended Kyrie well in 2019?

Ok. Here's my one LINK from 2019 too.

Ingram has never really been the guy you think he can be on defense. Hope you're right and he gets there!

I do think there's a chance when Zion returns they can outscore teams. JV will be your 4th option on offense for crying out loud. But Zion is really going to need to be the one to step up on defense. BI is actually playing as hard on defense as I've seen him this season. But being asked to be the 3rd best guy on defense is much different than being the 2nd best guy. He's gone from useful harassing with his long arms for most of the season to being a step slow all game since the trade.

Right. The only difference here is you think he can step up and be a plus defender. I don't,

Let’s revisit this conversation again, thoughts on BI can’t be a plus defender and my analysis of him being capable of being our second best wing defender was incorrect????

I say this as BI has been an utter nightmare to the Raps and shut FVV down when he was switched into him
