Brandon Ingram, Duke
(13) UNC Wilmington vs Duke (4) – Thursday, 12:15 PM (ET)
What many believe will be taken as the No. 1 overall pick, if he can put together a solid run in the NCAA Tournament, Brandon Ingram leads Duke into a first round matchup against UNC Wilmington. Ingram is the entire package. He probably would be the unanimous No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft if he weighed 40 more pounds.
Standing at 6-foot-9, the 19-year-old small forward offers a bit of everything. He can play the power forward position when the Blue Devils elect to play small ball and can shoot the three-ball like a traditional small forward (41 percent on the season).
Ingram averages 17 points and seven rebounds for Duke in roughly 35 minutes per game. If the Blue Devils are going to make any type of run this season, it’ll be on the back of Ingram.
