Can Josh Hart elevate his NBA Draft stock like Buddy Hield did?

Huuuuuuuuump Daaaaaaaaaaaay! With the NBA Draft rapidly approaching on Thursday night, there's been a regeneration of the conversation about who the next Buddy Hield or Denzel Valentine is. More specifically, a senior that could breakout and elevate himself into the lottery conversation next year.

And to my surprise, Josh Hart is getting a lot of love. NBC props him up, as did the CBS crew on their most recent podcast. I ain't complaining about the free pub, but that seems like a stretch to me.

And now, the "news."

2016 NBA Draft: Who are next year’s candidates to be breakout lottery picks? | CollegeBasketballTalk
The 2015-16 season turned into the year of the senior for a couple reasons, the biggest being that guys like Buddy Hield and Denzel Valentine, both seniors, exploded in their last year on campus. They split all of the National Player of the Year awards, and deservedly so.

The American Athletic is Working from a Position of Strength...For a While - Underdog Dynasty
When the Catholic Seven split from the Big East effective summer 2013 and took the name and history of the conference, they left the future American Athletic members the entire $100 million plus war chest the conference earned in tournament units. Plus with exit fees from West Virginia, Syracuse, Pitt, Rutgers, Louisville and Notre Dame numbering untold millions more (WVU paid over $10 million while Syracuse and Pitt paid around $7.5 million for example), the American had solid footing to build upon.
