Josh Hart is off to a stellar start as a member of the defending national champions.
The 6-foot-5 swingman from Villanova will begin his senior season on The Associated Press’ preseason All-America team.
Hart, the Big East’s preseason player of the year, received 53 votes from the same 65-member national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25.
Grayson Allen of Duke was the top vote-getter with 61, four more than Ivan Rabb of California.
Dillon Brooks of Oregon had 30 votes and Monte Morris of Iowa State had 24.
