The NBA Draft entry deadline has finally come and gone. Here are the best Big East Basketball players remaining at each respective position.

It’s hard to overstate how much top-end talent the Big East has lost to graduation, transfer, or the NBA Draft this offseason. Here is a quick rundown of key players no longer with their respective programs.

Guards

Trevon Bluiett, Jalen Brunson, Khadeen Carrington, Kyron Cartwright, Donte DiVincenzo, JP Macura, Andrew Rowsey, Khyri Thomas

Forwards

Mikal Bridges, Rodney Bullock, Marcus Derrickson, Marcus Foster, Kelan Martin, Desi Rodriguez

Bigs

Angel Delgado, Kerem Kanter, Marin Maric, Sean O’Mara, Tariq Owens, Omari Spellman, Tyler Wideman

That is some serious veteran star power on the way out. The conference is not entirely starting over, but by the time the 2019 Big East tournament rolls around, almost any order of teams sandwiched between Villanova and DePaul would be feasible.

Still, the conference is littered with plenty of talented players. Here are the top five players at each position (with some honorable mentions thrown in) that will likely be jockeying for position on the 2018-19 All-Big East teams by the end of the season.
