Duke freshman Brandon Ingram announced Monday on The Players’ Tribune website that he plans to declare for the NBA Draft. Ingram averaged 17.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 34.6 minutes per game this season. He was second-team All-ACC and the ACC Freshman of the Year. He scored 634 points, the third-highest for a Duke freshman. He’s the ninth Blue Devils freshman to declare for the draft. “Brandon Ingram was a special player at Duke this year, and his best basketball is still ahead of him,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement from the school. “He is a no-maintenance player who loves the game, has a strong desire to get better and competes every time he steps on the floor. Brandon is also a creative and thoughtful young man who comes from a beautiful family. We’re proud that he’ll always be a member of the Duke basketball family as he pursues an exciting future in professional basketball. I have absolutely loved coaching Brandon.” - See more at: http://www.newsobserver.com/sports/college/acc/duke/article69835962.html
