Brandon Ingram started this year's Las Vegas Summer League on the right foot, scoring the game's first basket on an alley-oop from rookie Lonzo Ball and leading the team with his 26 points and three steals.
But what's more impressive is that the 19-year-old seems to be still growing, not only in his talent and experience in the league, but in inches as well.
The North Carolina native has been hearing from all the training staff that he seems to have grown an inch or two, thing which the lanky small forward took in good spirits.
“Maybe I’ll grow to KD’s height,” said Ingram, according to Mike Trudell of ESPN Los Angeles.
Kevin Durant has been notorious for being rather secretive about his real height, saying he usually says 6-foot-9 to be able to play at his preferred small forward position and not deal with any changes.
With a spider-like wingspan and incredible handling of the ball, Ingram won't have any problem staying at the position, no matter how tall he grows — but will need to bulk up more than the 190 pounds he weighed in at in order to hang with the pros that can easily have a good 50 pounds of advantage.
