The Sun's Arizin: How big a leap can Villanova guard Josh Hart make?

The junior seems primed for a big year.

Happy Monday, 'Nova Nation! Most of our coverage in the coming weeks is going to focus on the football team, but after a lengthy conversation with a particularly knowledgeable incoming freshman, I've got hoops on the mind. Particularly, Josh Hart.

The hype around Jalen Brunson is real, but it would be a surprise to see Brunson lead the team in scoring. My money is on Josh Hart, who should benefit enormously from playing with Brunson. He's a willing slasher to the hoop and if his shooting percentage holds from last year -- look out!

And now, the "news."
