Write Up
Josh Hart is one of the more accomplished players in the draft. It seemed as if he was going to enter the 2016 draft, but after the combine he decided to return to Villanova for his senior season. So far he has improved on just about every part of his game, he can pass, shoot, rebound, defend, etc. There are very few weaknesses in Hart’s game, he is just a do it all type of player for Villanova (similar to how Brogdon was for Virginia). Hart has good size and ok length for the SG position in the pros, but lacks elite level quickness and bounce. He is what some call a “floor bound” player and does well finishing after contact, but may struggle to finish over length in the NBA. Overall Hart may be one of the highest value picks in this draft and has all the potential to become a very solid role player in the NBA.
