Hart is a two-way player that may not jump out at you with the initial eye-test. However, the more you watch him play, the more you appreciate all of the intangibles he brings to a winning team. Hart is as steady as they come. He averaged 18.7 points (40% from beyond the college arc), 6.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. He shot over 50% FG in all of his four seasons in college. He improved his scoring average with each successive season at Villanova, and he raised his free throw percentage from 67% as a freshman to 75% as a Senior. While we view him as more of a shooting guard, Hart could conceivably play point guard in a pinch as well. He helps as a rebounder from the guard spot. His wingspan is 6'8.25" (same as Spencer Dinwiddie.) ...Hart's max. vert, is 35.5" (same as Malcolm Brogdon and Devin Booker.) ...Hart was a catalyst in the 2016 National Championship run for Villanova. ...Hart is being under-valued in the draft if it is true that he could slip to the late 30's. We think he is a first round talent that will be a starter in the NBA very soon. He defends, and he has enough offensive savvy to fit right in.

Good advice: In 2013, the 18th pick in the NBA Draft was Shane Larkin. We advised, "Draft Gorgui Dieng."
