Very clearly a reloading year, but I'd be shocked if that's the case.
Ponds is a pretty safe pick. Pretty much everyone agrees he will not return for his Senior year. Unless he has a disappointing year, he'll be a 1st or 2nd round pick.
One of the half dozen Top 50 incoming recruits will probably be a one and done. Heron, if eligible this year, will likely be going to the draft too. Not sure about the other BE teams, but somebody always surprises while projected draft picks often don't pan out.
Also, even if only one Big East player is drafted next year, that means the conference will be STACKED for 2019-20. I hope the league doesn't have a big draft year again, we need to reload.
I guess a question is what players were looked at for the draft this year came back besides Ponds?
Also, wouldn't say any of the top 50 incoming recruits will probably be a one and done. None of these are higher than #29 on the incoming recruit list.
I think also we've seen a number of top notch guys reclassifying into the 2018 class. I think that's going to impact the 2019 draft big time.
If there ever was going to be a year where the Big East would have only 1 draft pick, it would be next year I think.

If you had gotten one of the OAD and St John's had made the tourney as a result, but then lost him to the NBA, would you still say that you're happy you got Ponds over those guys?
As far as your honest question, yes I think Duke would be a better team. It's why I think when the NBA gets rid of the OAD rule, I think Duke will go back to that, and be really good.
