Stanford freshman Harrison Ingram on Wednesday announced that he will declare for the 2022 NBA draft while maintaining his remaining collegiate eligibility.
Ingram, who was named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year, averaged 10.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and three assists in 32 games. He was one of just two true freshmen in the country (Paolo Banchero, Duke) to average at least 10 points, six rebounds and three assists.
The 6-foot-7 forward is considered to be a possible first-round pick that will bring good size to the next level at 230 pounds. He has displayed good court vision, often making the right reads, and will be able to handle the ball some in the NBA.

Ingram will have the opportunity to participate in private workouts with teams to help improve his draft stock. He also figures to be a strong candidate to earn an invitation to the draft combine or NBA G League Elite Camp in May.
He isn’t viewed as the most athletic player in the draft and there are concerns with his shooting after converting on 31.3% of his attempts from 3-point range. However, Ingram will not turn 20 until November and still has plenty of room to grow.
The early-entry withdrawal deadline for underclassmen is June 1.
