The people who think ingrams ceiling is higher than brown have never seen ingram play. He is terrible

I'm of the same opinion. The comparison to Durant is inflating his 'potential'. If Brown were in LAL they'd be comparing him to Kobe in the same way.
Their rookie seasons were quite similar ;)

It's virtually impossible that Jaylen doesn't have at least a solid career in this league, because of three things: 1) natural athletic ability/body, 2) aggressive attitude, and 3) work ethic. With those things, his floor is still a tremendously useful player to any team.

I think Ingram does have star potential.  And i think Jaylen does have bust potential, at least in terms of being star.  So I don't disagree with the laker fan on that.  I'd trade Jaylen for Ingram in a  heart beat.  But I could be proved of course.  Jaylen is physically athletic and does have potential to be good regardless.

As for Tatum versus Ball, i take Tatum.  Obviously Ball is a good passer but I simply do not see the athleticism or explosive to become a good scorer, which will limit his star potential.

I think Brown has the highest upside/lowest floor.

Same. I see Brown amounting to anywhere from a top 50 player to a top 10 player. Whereas I see Tatum falling somewhere in the top 20-40 range.
