With the NBA draft combine concluding on Sunday, May 19th, let’s review the latest updates on Harrison Ingram from the combine and mock drafts.
The latest NBA.com mock draft projects Ingram as the 25th pick for the New York Knicks, up two spots from the previous mock. According to Jonathan Wasserman, there are concerns about whether his breakout junior year at UNC was a fluke given his underwhelming two seasons at Stanford and his struggles to surpass a 67% free throw percentage in college.
ESPN’s Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo predict Ingram as the 34th pick for the Portland Trailblazers in their post-lottery mock, whereas nbadraft.net places him at #48 in the second round, landing with the San Antonio Spurs.
In his first combine scrimmage, Ingram performed impressively, scoring 14 points, grabbing four rebounds, and making three steals.
Harrison Ingram recently stated that he is “all-in” on the NBA draft.
