Is Josh Hart this season’s Anthony Brown? For those who don’t remember, Anthony Brown played his rookie 15-16 season with the Lakers, appearing in 29 games and somehow starting eleven of them. He averaged four points per game, shot 31% from thefield, and, as of this season, is out of the league.
Hart is shooting significantly better than that from the field, so the comparison is already a little weak (that’s not going to stop me from making it). However, while his scoring rate is slightly better than Brown’s, it’s still extremely low for a shooting guard. Eleven is his season-high; it took him thirty minutes of game time and eleven shot attempts to achieve it. Reggie Miller alleges that Hart won an NCAA championship at Villanova so this might be a situation where there has to be at least one person from the championship team to play at least one season in the NBA.
I still consider this video a success because I now have a clear idea of what Josh Hart looks like and what position he plays, things I didn’t really have a grasp on before.
