Villanova Basketball’s Josh Hart gets some pointers from future NBA Hall of Famer, Dwayne Wade

Happy Wednesday Nova Nation! Came across a video this morning of Josh Hart putting some work in on his game this summer. To Wildcat fans, this isn’t surprising. Hart may be the most competitive player in Villanova basketball history, so of course he’s looking for every way possible to be the best.

And if you’re trying to be the best, why not learn from the best? It turns out Hart was working out with former Marquette star and future NBA Hall of Famer, Dwayne Wade.

It got me thinking, if you could pick up some tips from any member of another Big East school (past or present), who would it be? Marquette had yet to join the Big East when Wade played there, so for now we’ll keep him off the list. But it’s a LONG list. Learn some post moves from Ewing, work on your jumper with Allen, or maybe get a sick crossover from Iverson. Carmello, Butler, there’s a lot to choose from. Be sure to put your picks in the comments below.
