San Antonio Spurs

One of the best developmental programs in the league, the San Antonio Spurs are a dream destination for young players in the NBA. Not only do you get the opportunity to play under legendary head coach Gregg Popovich and next to phenom Victor Wembanyama, but you also get to be part of a storied franchise with an excellent track record of player development.

The swing skill for Ingram at the next level will be his shooting. If he can continue the improvement he showed last season where he got his three-point percentage up to 38.5%, he has a chance to be a valuable player in the league for a long time.

Three-and-D players are hard to come by in the league and Ingram has the profile of an elite one. He just needs to be consistent with his shot and increase his volume. There is no better team to help him get there than the San Antonio Spurs. Just remember how Kawhi Leonard looked as a rookie and where he was later in his Spurs tenure.

The Spurs have the 35th-overall pick in the draft. They already have the fourth and eighth picks in the draft, where they will likely address their needs at guard. At 35, it would behoove them to go for a role player like Ingram who could fit seamlessly next to Wembanyama and their other young players.
