Hart should be starting with Kuzma coming off the bench.

Zo, Hart, BI, Bron, TC would be an excellent starting 5 unless Javale learns to start walling off penetration better. I don't like BI at the 2 or Kuz in the starting lineup until he becomes even an average defender/rebounder.
Kuz is all gunner right now and that's wonderful for the bench. _________________ "If You're Afraid To Fail...Then You're Probably Going To Fail."

Night after night that's going to take it's toll on his legs and add unnecessary mileage to his body...he's our best 2 by a lot...and one of our only kids that gives everything every game so far. _________________ "If You're Afraid To Fail...Then You're Probably Going To Fail."

Yup. Luke starting both the Lakers PFs at the same time (Lebron and Kuzma) mean that the backup PF minutes need to come from someone who isn't a PF. Hart drew the short straw on that one.
This and Kuzma's bad defense next to Lebron makes me think Hart should be starting at 2 and Kuzma coming off the bench as the 4.

His per36 numbers are very very solid, guy's a keeper :

His 3pt shooting is no fluke, he's now at 45% with high volume. I think he can stay above 40% for the year...
as he should considering he shot basically 40% last year.
I was thinking about this same thing. Looking up the 3 pt shooting stats earlier, I wondered how long Hart would stay at 45.5% on 3 pt shooting. Surely he has to come down to Earth sometime, right?
Then I remembered he shot 40% from 3 last year. And that was his rookie year. That tells me what he's doing now is no anomaly, he's that good.

We are taking this positionless basketball thing very literally. Can wait until the playoffs when the announcers minds get blown (for show) when Hart guards Draymond well.
Hart can play at least 4 positions competently. He is a diamond in the rough.
He never complains he just keeps relentlessly grinding! We are lucky to have him.

He really is a phenomenal post-defender for someone who doesn't have a lot of length.
He has a strong base, and can push these week forwards out 20-feet as they try to establish position. He'd give Ingram fits if they ever ended up on different teams.

He'd muscle Ingram into a backcourt violation. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."
