New Orleans Pelicans star Brandon Ingram opened up on Brandon Boston Jr.
For three seasons, Brandon Boston Jr. was a member of the Clippers where it seemed like he was poised to become a potential young star for the team. Unfortunately, those dreams never became a reality and he ultimately never found a fit with the team, even after playing 108 games with them.
That failure, became the New Orleans Pelicans' success, as Ingram became a member of the Pelicans this season and created an immediate impact within the first five games of the season. Last night against the Indiana Pacers, he put up 14 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists on 67% shooting from the field. It was a much-needed boost for a shorthanded Pelicans team without CJ McCollum, Herb Jones, or Dejounte Murray.
During practice on Saturday, Pelicans star Brandon Ingram was asked about his thoughts on the team's new player and Ingram revealed that they've actually been friends for a long time. "I've actually known him before he went to college and got to the league," Ingram said. "With the Clippers situation, I think they just couldn't find minutes with him. They've got guys that they already had established on the basketball floor. So, they really couldn't find no time with him. I don't know his situation with the Spurs before he got here.
The New Orleans Pelicans are going to need contributions from everyone on the team if they're going to be sucessful during this rough patch. Hopefully, Brandon Boston can continue giving them that much needed boost.
