    Duke already leads all schools with five projected picks in the 2018 NBA Draft.

    When it comes to the 2019 Draft, Duke is also first — but they are tied with Kentucky.

    According to the latest mock draft from ESPN.com, Duke and Kentucky each have three players projected to be chosen in the 2019 draft.

    Kansas has two projected picks as do Gonzaga, Maryland, North Carolina, Oregon and Tennessee.

    Romeo Langford, the projected No. 5 pick, will announce April 30 between Kansas, Indiana and Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt currently has one projected pick in No. 9 Darius Garland.

    2019 also figures to be another big year for Canadians. Duke-bound R.J. Barrett is projected at No. 1. Virginia Tech’s Nickeil Alexander-Walker is at No. 24, Iowa State’s Lindell Wigginton is at No. 32, Syracuse’s Oshae Brissett is at No. 34 and Tennessee’s Kyle Alexander is No. 51.
