#4 Brandon Ingram
Of all the players in their early 20s, Brandon Ingram's All-Star caliber year seems to be just around the corner - keeping in mind his immense breakout capability.
Before being diagnosed with deep venous thrombosis during early March, the 21-year-old was posting a blistering career-high average of 18.3 points per game, playing alongside LeBron in LA.
“Brandon’s ability as an elite playmaker and a long, athletic defender is going to enable him to play multiple positions,” David Griffin said July 16.
Possessing the unique handles and footwork to create his shot, Ingram was shooting almost 50% from the field. He recorded a 57% conversion from the floor(and averaged 27.8 points per game) in his final six games during the 2018-19 season.
With 5.6 free throw attempts last season, Ingram also carries an underrated ability to draw fouls. Moreover, his addition to the New Orleans' young core makes them a top-tier defensive club.
