UNC basketball product Harrison Ingram is heading to his home state to play for the San Antonio Spurs.
Harrison Ingram didn't come off the board at the NBA Draft as early as some UNC basketball faithful had hoped. In recent weeks, there appeared to be a slim chance that he would sneak into the first round and thereby earn a guaranteed contract.
Nevertheless, it looks as though the 6-foot-7. 225-pound forward, a former five-star recruit out of Dallas, is in an ideal location to begin his pro career. After all, he's back in his home state. During the second round of the NBA Draft in Manhattan on Thursday, the San Antonio Spurs selected Ingram at No. 48 overall, as the 21-year-old became the first, Harrison Ingram couldn't have asked for a better opportunity, for he'll look to carve out a role with a young franchise full of promise:
"Harrison Ingram to the San Antonio Spurs is a dream fit. Ingram is super versatile. Has played so many different roles throughout his college career. Type of guy who should earn minutes right away next to Victor Wembanyama."Ingram is super versatile. Has played so many different roles throughout his college career.
