2016 NBA Mock Draft: Boston lands international standout Dragan Bender

20. <p>While Ingram’s freshman season wasn’t as productive from a box score stand point as Simmons’, his signs of growth are encouraging enough to place him in the number one pick conversation. Ingram’s physical frame is tailor-made for the modern NBA era. At 6-10 with a 7-3 wingspan, Ingram has drawn comparisons to Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant. Those superstar comparisons, like most, do a disservice to an 18 year old who is still developing his game, but there are moments where Ingram resembles the stick-thin Durant during his time in Texas’ burnt orange.</p> <p>Ingram’s most obvious skill is his outside shooting. He knocked down 41.0 percent of his 195 three-point attempts as a freshman while taking 6.3 threes per 40 minutes. Ingram has a fluid shooting stroke with a high release point that will combine well with his size to make him a threat to shoot any time he has the ball in his hands. As the season wore on, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski allowed Ingram to become a more frequent ball-handler off of defensive rebounds in order to take advantage of Ingram’s skill advantage in isolation situations versus defenders. The young freshman also developed as a finisher at the rim, using his wiry frame and long arms to convert nearly 60 percent of his layups and dunks, <a href=. SF. Duke. Brandon Ingram. 2. player
