Ignore his worst category (turnovers) and he's worth 0.19.
A Clipper, officially - the Kawhi trade was processed on September 14 and Ingram is the headline piece going back. It is a real promotion: he lands as the featured scorer alongside Darius Garland on a roster that just lost its best player and Bennedict Mathurin in the same summer, and our line holds at ~21/5.5/3.8 on clean percentages over ~64 games. One eye on the heel: he had surgery in May and was working out at the Clippers' facility by September 9, so he should be ready for camp, but the injury pages still list it. The catch is the profile, not the situation: almost no steals or blocks and 2.4 turnovers make him a scorer in a category game, which is why a 21-point starter grades out around 75th. Fine as a stabiliser, not the pick that wins your week.
Brandon Ingram enters 2026-27 at #76 on our board — Round 7 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 33.0 minutes a night. The value is built on scoring and free-throw percentage, with turnovers the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-turnovers builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 64 games.
