After this year’s top overall pick Ben Simmons fractured his foot, the more telling comment came from one of the most respected voices when it comes to athletes’ training.

Tim Grover, the trainer responsible for keeping Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Dwyane Wade, among others, in peak physical condition for the longest time, gave his take on the unfortunate news.

That’s why it’s no surprise how the person selected next to Simmons has kept a different approach to weight gain, per Baxter Holmes’ article for ESPN, despite popular opinion telling him to bulk up at all cost.

“Definitely. That's one of the reasons I tried to stop the little calorie thing that I had going on. [It's] just knowing that it's going to be a process. [I'm] not trying to gain weight too fast, knowing that it's going to come over the years as my body matures.”

Unlike Simmons, Brandon Ingram already has a more developed offensive game which allows him to score on a variety of areas away from the paint, where most of the hurting happens. But he’s no slouch either according to coach Luke Walton.

“People keep saying how thin [Ingram] is, and he is thin, but we did a one-on-one drill and we told him, you can catch it wherever you want. He scored all of his points from the post against the guards, and he was matched up against Julius [Randle], who's as strong as anybody in this league, and he was holding his own out there.”

Brandon Ingram does have a role model that he could emulate in Kevin Durant, and he doesn’t only have his built, but also some of his offensive skills.

But at the end of the day, while he works on his body, the Lakers rookie will always hope for the best toward his fellow greenhorn.

“I hate it for him. I just send prayers out to him. He's just a great guy and a great basketball player, and I hope he has a great recovery.”
