"Ingram may end up being better than Dunn and Murray in the NBA, but you can’t overlook the fact that he looked completely overwhelmed against Kentucky, Georgetown and VCU. He is 6’9″, 195lbs so the easy comparison is to Kevin Durant and even though they share similar traits, KD was miles ahead of Ingram at the same stage. Ingram has a silky smooth and effortless jumper that translates to any level and his size and length will allow him to guard most three men in the game, but his ball skills must improve if he wants to take that jump to be a star. – D.C. Gaitley"
Ingram is intriguing. On one hand when you watch him all you think is Kevin Durant, but then as D.C. pointed out, he is no where near as impressive as Durant was at Texas. Mix that with the fact that Ingram is struggling to play defense (I know he blocks well, but has been a poor on ball defender), and we have someone I don’t feel comfortable drafting with the number one or two overall draft pick.
