2018 NBA Draft: Omari Spellman selected by Atlanta Hawks with 30th pick

Another Villanova player is off the board!

Center Omari Spellman was taken by the Atlanta Hawks with the final pick of the first round in Thursday night’s NBA draft.

Spellman averaged 10.9 points and 8.0 rebounds for the champion Wildcats.

Spellman will perhaps be best remembered for his block and tip slam against West Virginia in the Sweet Sixteen.
