The Los Angeles Lakers drafted Brandon Ingram with the second overall pick, the first acquisition they’ve made since Kobe Bryant retired.

Ingram will be expected to usher the franchise into a new era alongside D’Angelo Russell and Julius Randle.

“You kind of feel pressure, but it’s a good pressure, of course,” Ingram said of going to a franchise moving out of the Bryant era.. “It gives you motivation and the potential to be someone like Kobe Bryant and some of the greats in the league. So of course, if I just go in and impact in any way I can and just listen to the coach and be coachable.”

Ingram isn’t worried about trying to do too much early on with the Lakers.

“I’m just going to be myself. Whatever I can do to impact the game, whatever the coach needs me to do, I’m going to do it,” he said.
