Brandon Ingram has been filling in for Lonzo Ball at point guard while the rookie has been on the sidelines since mid-January, and he has been doing a fantastic job. It's been a vast improvement for him than what he was able to produce on the court for the Los Angeles Lakers during his rookie season.

Ingram has gone from averaging 9.4 points per game to 16.2 points per game, he's been able to drive to the rim more, averaging nearly double the free-throw attempts and scoring more efficiently, and his field goal percentage has risen from 44.3 percent to 48.7 percent.

In the 13 games since Ball went out with an injury, the small forward has stepped up and played some point guard and has shined in the process. Over the past month, he's averaged 16.5 points per game with 44 percent shooting from three, increasing his assists to nearly five a game too.

Reid Forgrave of CBS Sports spoke with Ingram over the All-Star weekend and talked about several different topics including his relationship with Ball on the court and how Lonzo's father, LaVar Ball, affects the team's dynamic.

When he was asked about possibly sharing point guard duties with Ball when he comes back, the small forward envisions it working as they both play in a similar style.

Ingram said: "At the point guard position we basically do the same thing. I may be more aggressive to the rim sometimes, but at the point guard position, we're both just pushing the pace. Trying to push the fast break, rebound the ball and try to push it. We don't really have offense where we try to get in half-court sets. We just try to push the ball.

"If he's running the wing, I can kick it ahead to him. If I'm running the wing, he can do it for me. It'll work out. Even if the coaches don't tell us to run point guard, we'll probably do it anyway.

When Ingram was asked how much does LaVar Ball actually affect his life and the Lakers' team dynamic, he believes he doesn't have any effect at all.

He said: "I don't think he affects it at all. He's in Lithuania with his other two boys. I don't really pay any mind to it. The guys laugh and joke about it sometimes. But it doesn't affect my spot on the team. And it doesn't affect this team. It's cool."

Even with how LaVar Ball likes to speak his mind like he is the head coach of the Lakers, it doesn't ruin the team's dynamic, which can only mean good things for the relationship on the court between Ingram and Lonzo, and for the team's future.
