NBA 2K LEAGUE DRAFTFebruary 22, 2020Kimanni "Splashy" IngramNew York, New York Q. Can I have you say and spell your name and your gamer tag? KIMANNI INGRAM: My real name? Q. And your gamer tag. KIMANNI INGRAM: Okay, Kimanni Ingram, full name K-i-m-a-n-n-i I-n-g-r-a-m. Gamer tag Splashy, S-p-l-a-s-h-y. Q. I think this draft has gone an interesting direction, so I'm sure maybe you weren't always expecting to go to Utah. How do you feel about that right now? KIMANNI INGRAM: Of course I wasn't expecting it, but the draft is full of unpredictable movements. It's like once you saw the first unpredictable pick, another unpredictable pick, and oh, now I have faith, I might be coming up next since we're just doing a lot of unpredictable picks. I'm glad they have faith in me, and I'm ready to get started. Q. Did you have conversations with the Jazz gaming before the draft and that might have given you a hint that you might get drafted by them? KIMANNI INGRAM: I'm cool with everybody on our team or I've talked to them in some way, shape or form and I was on a pro-am team with Lotty Ford a little bit when he came over to PS4. So yeah, I've had a couple conversations with the people on the Jazz. Q. Is there one particular player you're looking forward to playing against? KIMANNI INGRAM: First pick, JBM. He went first pick. You want to destroy the person who went before you, and he has the biggest media right now. I'm trying to destroy him as soon as I see him. Q. Why did you pick him, other than trying to destroy him? KIMANNI INGRAM: He's off Xbox and I never got to play him this year. I got to play every PG in the pool that was like top 10, top 15 material, but I never got to play JBM, so I know it's going to be an interesting match-up when I see him. Q. What is the emotion right now because you seem really fired up, which is really cool. Is that the emotion right now that you're feeling? KIMANNI INGRAM: Yeah, it's the emotion because my personality already pops out, but the emotion is so happy. I'm not trying to show it too much because I'm too cool for school, but I'm really happy that I was top 10, so yeah. Q. You're playing with last year's first overall pick, Ria; you're playing with the season one third overall pick, Compete. How do you think you mesh with those guys? KIMANNI INGRAM: I know it's going to be a great group. That's why I'm worried about brotherhood before on-the-court stuff. I know we have enough skills, but if we can bond off the court, I know we're going to be good. Ria is the most versatile player ever from what I've been told, Compete is great, Lotty is great. I know the next two picks we get are going to fit right back in. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
