Sacramento Kings: 5 options for pick No. 34 in 2017 NBA Draft

3. Josh Hart, SG, Villanova

2016-17 stats:  36 GP, 18.7 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 2.9 APG, 1.5 SPG, .3 BPG, 2 TOV, 51 FG%, 40.4 3P%, 74.7 FT%

Having wrapped up his four-year career at Villanova, Josh Hart stands as one of the most decorated prospects in this year’s draft class. Now making the jump to the NBA, the 22-year-old Maryland native offers a wide baseline of skills and abilities that could make him a valuable contributor when he reaches the next level, despite the projections that slot him as a second round selection.

Offensively, Hart stands as a productive and efficient scorer from all levels of the court. While most of his offense comes in an off-ball role capacity, Hart shows the capability to create offense for himself as well as others with the ball in his hands, though to what degree he’ll be able to do so in an NBA setting stands as an intriguing question.

On the other end of the floor, Hart’s defensive activity is very promising as he can defend multiple positions, fend off stronger players to attack the glass and does the little things to generate turnovers or gain possession of the ball.

Although his athletic limitations and his age will likely stand in the way of him potentially becoming a higher selection, Hart’s all-around talent is enough to counter those concerns and it’s easy to see why Hart could make an instant impact no matter where he ends up in the vein of a Malcolm Brogdon this year.

Despite the many options they have at the 2-spot, Hart’s versatility and production make him an interesting fit for the Kings. He’s clearly on the Kings’ radar as general manager Vlade Divac was reportedly in attendance for Hart’s pro day and the team recently brought him in for a workout in Sacramento.

Whether he’ll last long enough to be on the board by the time the Kings are on the clock at 34 remains to be seen, but bringing in a player of Hart’s caliber would be very appealing for where the Kings are at currently.
