After three inconsistent seasons with the Lakers, Brandon Ingram looked like the No. 2 pick he once was this season in New Orleans.
The forward averaged 23.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists on 46.3% field goal shooting and 39.1% three-point shooting.
Ingram received appropriate accolades for his performance this season, highlighted by his first All-Star game nod
