Brandon Ingram: B+

Here’s a good one that could work for everybody.

Brandon Ingram has taken the first steps toward being a star in New Orleans. He made the All-Star Game two years ago and has remained an honorable mention ever since, averaging 22.7 points and 5.6 assists last season.

With Zion Williamson expected to return, Ingram’s fit will once again come into question. Can the Pelicans win with Ingram and Zion? Or do they need a more suitable two-way wing to take his place?

This is where Andrew Wiggins makes sense as the perfect trade chip.

The Pelicans get a forward who has proven he can be second or third-fiddle on a playoff contender while the Dubs gain a lanky, offensive-oriented prospect who is still only 24 years old.

Ingram’s youth provides a ton of potential the Warriors could help him tap into. He’s already an elite scorer and has some playmaking chops. Ingram is a dream fit in Golden State.
