Photos: Mike Krzyzewski Says 5-Star Freshman Brandon Ingram Has Gained 23 Pounds Since July

Ingram is listed at 6-foot-9, 190 pounds on Duke's website, but apparently just cracked the 190-pound threshold recently after adding more than 20 pounds since July. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski shared Ingram's development with beat writers today, saying the increased bulk could help his on-court versatility.
