3 Projected Landing Spots for Harrison Ingram in the 2024 NBA Draft
By Cem Yolbulan
Utah Jazz
Due to his rare skill-set, physical tools, and prototypical profile of a two-way wing, Ingram can fit on any team. You can never have too many 6'6 players who can guard multiple positions and shoot reliably. Therefore, this list could have been 30-team long.
Realistically, however, teams that are drafting in the early second round are the most obvious choices for Ingram. The Utah Jazz are one of those teams with their 32nd-overall pick. In fact, the Ringer's Kevin O'Connor currently has Ingram heading there in his latest mock draft.
This makes plenty of sense. Utah is in the early stages of a rebuild. They have an All-Star in Lauri Markkanen but the rest of their roster is developmental players. Keyonte George, Taylor Hendricks, and Walker Kessler are all decent potentials with high upside but they are nowhere close to being a playoff team in the stacked Western Conference.
This makes Ingram a decent fit with the Jazz. Not only does Utah lack depth at forward, but they also have significant playing time to give to a young prospect. Head coach Will Hardy is one of the brightest young coaches in the league and Utah is building something special there. Ingram being a part of that would be exciting to watch for North Carolina fans.
