Brandon Ingram is primarily known as a scorer but he has been focused more on playmaking as of late. His teammate Larry Nance is well aware of that.

“His playmaking has come leaps and bounds,” Nance said about Ingram, via Jim Eichenhofer. “He’s gained more of that presence, being able to see our shooters when they pop open, throwing those crosscourt passes.”

As note by Eichenhofer, the 25-year-old small forward is averaging 8.5 assists over last 8 games in which the Pelicans are 7-1.

This season Ingram is averaging 24.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 33.5 minutes per game.
