Harrison Ingram

Ingram is a player who could play both the “three” and “four” spots, but the role as a point-forward is one that should help him showcase his true talent and potential.

Having Ingram on the floor essentially gives the Tar Heels another ball handler with the skillset and ability to be a steady playmaker. North Carolina doesn’t need him to be a full-time ball handler, but there will be instances where that ability will be valuable for this year’s squad.

Ingram was named to the Julius Erving Award Watch List, which is presented annually to the nation’s top small forward. The Stanford transfer will play a variety of roles for Hubert Davis’ team, as his versatility is one of the reasons why the Tar Heels wanted to add him to the mix to begin with.
