I posted once before about this.  I heard Wright on Sirius with either Spatola or Packer a few weeks after the tournament ended.  Obviously at the Combine the panel of guys spoke about the culture there and the well-rounded players coming out of there.  That brings me back to Wright on Sirius.  He tells every player who is coming into Villanova that (assuming they don’t have those abilities already) they will BE REQUIRED to be good at everything there and that they will be drilled to be good at everything...shooting, passing, handle, rebounding, defense, etc.  Their guards stick their noses in there and board as well.  When you watch those teams the past five years or so one can easily see this.

They are not worrying about zone fits as well.  Thus they are generally avoiding the raw beanpoles.  Obviously an advantage in skill there more often than not.  Their system is what is driving this and is quite attractive with how the game is being played now.  They have been Golden State the past few years but with athletes and physicality on the college level.  If they get that recruit from AZ named Nico Mannion (another red head like DiVincenzo) they are going to be nasty again.  He’s one of the best PG’s I’ve seen in 2019.  Filthy.
