The Wright advice: No need for Hart to change jumper | Bob Brookover

Josh Hart, fresh from his first real NBA experience last spring, provided Jay Wright with the good news that he would be returning for his senior season at Villanova. After attending the scouting combine in Chicago, Hart also informed his coach that he had discovered the secret to his future success in the NBA. He explained that he was going to become a “3-and-D player.”

Wright told the Hart story in a March GQ Magazine article and his reaction to his star player’s revelation was priceless.

“A 3-and-D guy, what’s that?” Wright asked Hart.

“All I’ve got to do is hit threes and play defense and I’ll play in the NBA,” Hart answered.
