The world of college basketball is always abuzz with excitement, and this season is no exception. With the likes of Duke and UNC producing some of the most talented young players in the country, it’s no wonder that fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming season.

Harrison Ingram: The UNC Basketball Product Making Waves in the NBA

Former UNC basketball starting forward Harrison Ingram has been making headlines with his impressive debut in the NBA. The 21-year-old Ingram finished with three points, seven rebounds, one assist, zero turnovers, and zero fouls across his game-high 26 minutes in his first game with the San Antonio Spurs. While it wasn’t his best shooting night, Ingram’s considerable playing time suggests that the Spurs are eager to get a look at him in a game environment as a pro.

Tyrese Proctor: The Duke Basketball Junior Poised for a Breakout Season

Duke basketball junior Tyrese Proctor is looking built for a potentially big jump next season. After a sophomore season that was marred by injury woes, Proctor is back and looking stronger than ever. With a year of co-captain experience under his belt and some added bulk to his frame, the 6-foot-6, 183-pound smooth playmaker may well be primed for a breakout junior year leading almost an entirely new cast of teammates in Durham.
