Harrison Ingram

Yes, Harrison Ingram was a highly-touted high school prospect who transferred to North Carolina with an already impressive resume from his two seasons at Stanford.

Even though it was known that he is a good basketball player, the first six games of his Tar Heel career have indicated that he’s even better than advertised.

Ingram is a guy who does it all on the court.

If you need a basket, he can make it happen.

If you need to find the open guy for a quality shot, he’ll find him.

If you need a defensive stop, he’s more than willing to step up to the occasion.

The Battle 4 Atlantis was a “breakout party” for Ingram, as he was arguably the Tar Heels best player in the Bahamas.

Recording two double-doubles over three games, Ingram showed how valuable he is to this year’s squad in the third-place game, as he played all 40 minutes in the win over Arkansas. He wasn’t just a bystander either: Ingram went on to finish the game with 13 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and two steals.

People often talk about the “dynamic duo” of Armando Bacot and RJ Davis. Well, it’s time to consider Harrison Ingram among the Tar Heels “big three,” as he’s been fantastic in his early UNC basketball career.
