Quotes:

Mike Schmitz and Julian Applebome over at DraftExpress believe Hart is a jack of all trades, but perhaps a master of none.

"There isn’t much flash to Hart’s game and his calling card offensively at this stage is perhaps more his ability to do a little bit of everything than any one particular element. He’s an intelligent, opportunistic scorer who scored in a variety of ways at the college level."

In a conversation with Keith Pompey of Philly.com, Josh Hart compared himself to Malcolm Brogdon in terms of being a senior who can come into the NBA and be productive right away.

"“When you have four-year guys definitely like Malcolm, who had a heck of a year, I’m rooting for him,” Hart said. “When you come from great spots like Virginia and Villanova, when you come from programs like that, you know how to play basketball.”"
