Los Angeles Lakers fans are already well aware of what Brandon Ingram and Ivica Zubac look like on the floor. Whether from watching their countless highlight videos in the lead-up to, and following, the 2016 NBA Draft or from checking out their performances in Las Vegas Summer League, everyone is familiar with the appearance of their respective games.
What we haven’t seen is what they look like decked out in full Lakers gear, something that changed on Sunday when the NBA posted some images from the rookie photo shoot the NBA uses to get all of their promotional materials images done for the coming season.
Starved for a Lakers fix in the dog days of August? The NBA has you covered. Ingram appeared to be having a blast at the event, which makes sense for a player whose future looks so bright, he needs shades to protect his retinas from the glare:

The Lakers hope part of that bright future includes adding to the number of titles featured on the back of their jerseys:

Ingram also got to show off some of his skills at the photo shoot. I’m willing to go out on a limb and say if he can make this shot consistently, he’s going to be pretty good:
And here are Ingram and Zubac in the group photo:
