Duke Puts Three Players In The 2019 NBA Draft’s Top Ten Picks

The 2019 NBA Draft is still going on as we write this but Duke’s role in it is over and three Blue Devils - Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett and Cam Reddish - all were Top Ten picks.

Williamson went to New Orleans with the first pick of course and after, the normally ebullient Williamson was overcome with emotion and couldn't really continue his interview. His mom, somewhat more composed, took it over and spoke for him. It was a moving moment to say the least.

Fans in New Orleans were highly excited of course and one even spoke optimistically of Williamson helping to make it a two-sport town.
