Ingram is not a SG. He's a PG that they've had to move because of Sexton's ability
I don't think Ingram is a PG at all. He has bad vision, isn't a great ball handler and is much better catching and slashing. He's not even really very good taking guys off the dribble from a stand still position, and he's really not good at driving and making good split second passing decisions. Ingram is at his best when he aggressively drives off the pass and looks to score instead of drawing contact.
I'd be completely content with Sexton as the starter and a combination of Ingram/Johnson/Herb spelling him. I'd prefer to see what Schaffer can do instead of AJJ, but that just isn't going to happen. AJJ's minutes need to be reduced to 3-4 a half IMHO.
Herb is a really interesting option at PG in spots because he has really good vision, does a good job getting into the lane and makes pretty good decisions when guys help on defense. He's basically Ingram but with better floor awareness. AJJ just brings nothing except for being there. He doesn't collapse the defense, he doesn't threaten them from 3 and he doesn't make great passes. He's just kind of there offensively.

I don't really disagree with most of this. Without Sexton, he'd be our #1 PG, and other than Sexton, he's really the only guy on our roster with decent ball handling skills.

Absolutely. I think Ingram is versatile enough to spell Key against certain teams and lineups.
