LAS VEGAS – Everywhere you looked at the 2018 NBA Summer League, Villanova players roamed. Opponents of the 2016 and 2018 NCAA men’s basketball champions know the feeling.
Legendary game-winning shotmaker Kris Jenkins, whose deep buzzer-beater against North Carolina gave the Wildcats the program’s first title since 1985, suited up for the Spurs. Josh Hart, the bridge between both title teams, dominated for the Lakers. First-round selections Mikal Bridges, Donte DiVincenzo and Omari Spellman tasted professional life for the first time with the Suns, Bucks and Hawks, respectively.
“It’s amazing to see those guys I played with and those I guys I tried to mentor,” Hart said.
