Although the 2022-23 NBA campaign has not yet kicked off, mock draft season is already rolling. Cody Taylor of Rookie Wire released an early look at the 2023 draft class with his first mock draft since the 2022 NBA draft in June.
It would be a surprise if the Golden State Warriors had a chance to select the 2023 class’s headliners, France Victor Wembayana or G League Ignite guard Scoot Henderson. However, Rookie Wire’s latest mock gives a good look at the type of player the Warriors could add to their impressive stable of young prospects.
With the No. 29 overall pick in the first round, the Warriors landed reigning Pac-12 Freshman of the Year Harrison Ingram out of Stanford in Rookie Wire’s new mock.
Via Rookie Wire:
Ingram, who was named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year last season, averaged 10.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and three assists in 32 games. He was one of two true freshmen in the country (Paolo Banchero, Duke) to average at least 10 points, six rebounds and three assists. Ingram is an intriguing prospect given his size and court vision. He has been projected as a player that could handle the ball some at the next level and will look to take the next step as a sophomore.

During his first season with the Cardinal, Ingram averaged 10.5 points on 38.8% shooting from the floor with 6.7 boards and 3 assists in 31.1 minutes per contest. In January against USC, Ingram notched a season-high 21 points on 3-of-6 shooting from the floor with five boards in an upset victory over the Trojans.
The 6-foot-8 forward tallied 15 or more points in 10 different games for Stanford as a freshman. Ingram also recorded six double-doubles during his first season on the farm.
Ingram is set to lead the Cardinal in the Pac-12 as a sophomore in 2022-23.
