Brandon Ingram averaged 23.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists for the Pelicans in 2019-20. He made his first All-Star team and shot 46.3 percent from the field, 39.1 percent from beyond the arc and 85.1 percent from the free-throw line.

The Pelicans are expected to sign Ingram to a max contract extension this offseason. The talented scorer becomes a restricted free agency once New Orleans offers him his qualifying offer.
