Ponds, Shamorie  St. John's 6'1" 180 PG jr.  Ponds can create shots for himself or others. He averaged 19.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game in 2018-19. He was named First Team All Big East. He is a good shooter (83.3% FT) that nailed 35.3% of his three-balls this season. Ponds takes good care of the ball. He had a 2.6-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. ...Defensively, St. John's was better with Ponds on the floor. ...Ponds had a 37" max. vert. when tested at the 2019 NBA Draft Combine. ...Ponds is trending as a late second round pick. We think he is better than that. He can run a team or score when needed. He can shoot. He plays defense. ...He can improve by being in better condition, and gaining strength. 

 

Good Advice: In 2012, the 37th pick in the NBA Draft was Quincy Acy. We advised, "Draft Will Barton."
