Former UNC standout Harrison Ingram meets an NBA and ACC basketball legend

Ingram brought UNC that rare combo that is becoming increasingly popular in today’s game: a power forward who can bully opponents down low, but also step out and shoot the 3-pointer when needed. Mock drafts had Ingram going in the second round, but there was still some speculation...
