(sabasports resport) The Pelicans were swept 4-0 in the Thunder series. Brandon Ingram’s failure to assume the mantle of team leader in the absence of Zion Williamson in this series led to a collapse in his value. It’s no exaggeration to say Ingram has almost played his last game with the Pelicans.
Through this series, the Pelicans management clearly realized that Ingram is not their ideal two-man. Although Zion Williamson’s absence has made the team much less powerful, it has not always been beaten by the Thunder. Therefore, the Pelicans were swept by the Thunder, Ingram is to blame.
