Lakers Obtain 30th Pick Josh Hart

Josh Hart’s trophy case is bursting open after a senior season that saw him named a First Team All-American, Big East Player of the Year and the Julius Erving Award for the nation’s top small forward.

After helping Villanova to the national championship the year before, Hart returned and elevated himself to one of the NCAA’s premier players.

He put up a conference-best 18.7 points per game, while also compiling the third-most win shares in the nation (7.7).

Able to do a bit of everything on offense, Hart made the most of his skill set thanks to his lauded basketball IQ.
