Ingram and Lavine, the decline of two failed star projects

Overflowing with talent, with overwhelming freshness and astonishing technical skills. This is how two young players presented themselves in the NBA, seeming ready to change the competition and establish themselves as seasoned All-Stars. Despite flirting with the elite, they have been unable to legitimize themselves within it, and their decline is striking. This is the story of Zach Lavine and Brandon Ingram.

From excitement to caution, then to the need for a change of scenery to recharge, to seeking an environment that could bring out the best in themselves, and finally to indifference. The paths of Zach Lavine and Brandon Ingram have been very similar in recent years, perceived as highly talented players who have squandered their potential due to a lack of ambition and work ethic to improve every day, coupled with a defensive deficit they have not endeavored to resolve.

Desperately put on the market by the Chicago Bulls and New Orleans Pelicans, both have long been embroiled in NBA rumors, but their departures have not occurred due to a fact as clear as it is painful: they are of no interest to anyone. No team wants to take the risk of paying top dollar for players who are far from fulfilling their initial promise and who undeniably shape the game with their strengths and weaknesses. Their future looks very bleak.
