The Jazz select Josh Hart No. 30 (reportedly traded to Lakers). Hart was the Big East Player of the Year and the KenPom.com Player of the Year (a statistical formula based on efficiency, usage percentage and team success) as a senior.
The Lakers will receive Villanova guard Josh Hart (via Jazz), who was the No. 30 overall pick of the 2017 NBA draft on Thursday night.
With the 30th pick in the draft, the Lakers (via the Utah Jazz) select Villanova guard Josh Hart, who averaged 18.7 points per game last season on 51 percent shooting from the field to go along with 6.4 rebounds.
Having gotten great value from a senior prospect last year in Malcolm Brogdon, why shouldn't the Bucks try it again with this Villanova product?

NBA teams who pass on Villanova's consensus first-team All-American are missing out on a quality role player who can knock down the 3 and defend multiple positions.

The Suns announced six players will be at their facility Monday for a pre-draft workout: SMU F Semi Ojeleye and G Sterling Brown, Notre Dame F V.J. Beachem, Villanova G Josh Hart, Oregon F Dillon Brooks and Miami G Davon Reed.
Hart, one of the nation's most productive seniors, projects to a 3-and-D role in the NBA. Stats and scouting rank him much higher than mock drafts.
Philadelphia announced that it will host Kentucky G Malik Monk for a private workout Thursday afternoon. Among those expected to participate in a pre-draft workout that morning are Villanova G Josh Hart and F Darryl Reynolds and Oregon guards Dillon Brooks and Dylan Ennis.
Villanova's alumni team in this year's The Basketball Tournament will include four players from the 2009 Final Four run: Scottie Reynolds, Corey Fisher, Antonio Pena and Reggie Redding.
