Monte - Ponds was a 2X All Big East 1st Team , and Freshman All Big East Team.
He might have not maximized potential, limited physically etc., missed in a few big spots to shine, but he was more than a "very good" player for us. He was a star.
If Rasheem Dunn is good to you, then Ponds was clearly great.
5th all-time leading scorer (7th per game), 6th in assists (9th per game), 2nd in steals (3rd per game), 2nd in 3pt made, 2nd in FT% 1st in player efficiency rating, 6th in effective Fg%, 6th true shooting %, all in 3 seasons, not the full 4.
He was on pace, and just might have eclipsed Mullin as all-time leader in points scored, or Sealy for #2 spot with a final year.

Let's not forget the electric he brought to a broken team with some huge games we all raved about. He singlehandedly made this team watchable when there was little confidence in the beloved Mullin to steer the ship. If Ponds didn't come here and bear the load, Mullin would have been an even bigger disaster.
