Josh Hart now projected to have higher ceiling than DLO.
Eh. More like JC. Hart made JC's trade inevitable/possible. That's the real comparison to me. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
Ok but that's not the one that was being discussed in the vid
OK but I'm not commenting per se on the video?
JC's trade is a bit more relevant. If Hart didn't play like he has recently, not sure we move him. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

Maybe Hart can be a Horry/Fox level high end role player for us when we are finally back in the playoffs again. Love his poise.
The funny part is, I don't recall Horry or Fox being this high level of a role player.
I mean, I get that Hart is hot and has been averaging double doubles and I expect that to regress, but Rick Fox's best year was 15/5/4. Hart could have that as a career average. Fox broke double digits scoring-wise in his career what, four times?
100% agree. I'm a party pooper whenever I see people stroll down memory lane with only good memories. I've always thought the Lakers did the minimum for Shaq and Kobe. They almost didn't win 2 of the 3 titles, and I've always felt the supporting cast were the main culprits for all those white knuckle games. Robert Horry wouldn't have the opportunity to hit clutch shots if he would just make the shots he took in the first 45 minutes. LOL!
Yup, outside of the year we had Horace Grant and almost ran the table, those Shakobe Laker squads were very thin. I hated how many draft picks we wasted too on non-athletic "triangle fit" players like Brian Cook and Luke Walton LOL.
But then again how many shots is Fox going to see with two ball dominant players like Shaq and Kobe? _________________ R.I.P. Doc Buss

That team needed a 3rd scorer so badly.
I don't want to get started on how poorly they drafted back then and repeatedly missed on this opportunity. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

I thinks so too... Hart looks coachable, he defends, he rebounds, he's faster... this can be a better 2nd string guard than Russell. _________________ "Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money & position in society are the cups.

The entire scout staff, from 2000 to 2005. _________________ Resident Car Nut.
Dude's been automatic on open 3-pointers lately. 41.4% in 15 games as a starter on almost 5 attempts a game. Guys, that's BONKERS...he's just about everything you ask for in the ideal 3-and-D SG role player prospect.
Once Kuz gets his legs back (probably next season) and if Lonzo/BI continue to make strides with their respective shots, the entire young core sans Julius could conceivably be comprised of plus shooters and at every position but center (enter Thomas Bryant ). Add PG to that?
That would be one crazy transformation of the roster from the beginning of this season to next, with regards to shooting ability.
He's honestly too good to be a bench player. He's damn near perfect. _________________ It was reminiscent of one of those Most Interesting Man in the World advertisements: "I don't always shoot 6-for-28 from the field, but when I do, I become the youngest player in league history to score 28,000 career points."
