Happy Thursday Nova Nation! While most of you are waking up on the east coast, it’s the west coast that seems to be buzzing lately about Villanova basketball. The Los Angeles Lakers have the 25th overall pick in the upcoming draft, and they’ve already been linked to every Villanova player except Mikal Bridges. After striking gold with Josh Hart at the end of last year’s first round, the Lakers have been keeping a close eye on which Wildcat could be their next breakout player.
They’re one of a number of teams that could use a solid backup PG, making Jalen Brunson an excellent choice towards the end of the first round.
