Hart is at worst our third most importsnt player. I think he is actyally our most important player.

He prevents Jalen from being double teamed and beat up up the floor every night.

He also allows Mikal and OG tonget their shots.

Hr keeps up the team rebounding and focus. As he says he's vibing. He's the NYK vibe

I ended up choosing OG but it took a minute. It's not an easy answer! I went with OG cause he is the best defensive player in the entire league, has a bag offensively and we are like 40-13 with him. But I absolutely LOVE Josh Hart and Mikal!!

I think Brunson and Towns are the first two in both of those categories but by the time you get to the 3rd the answer isn't as clear. It seems Bridges, OG or Hart could be the third in either of those different ways of looking at it.


This team goes nowhere without Og and towns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are 1&2 imo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brunson and jhart are tied for 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Are you ok? :lol:

We have won games without Josh Hart. But how do we look without OG? Last season during our playoff run how did we look? Sure it was a different team but OG provides overlooked contributions. Star players change the way the shoot and pass when they see OG on the floor.

Offensively, Bridges is our 3rd best player. He actually needs more shots.

Defensively, OG is our #1 best player.

Overall, our 3rd best player aka our most valuable player is OG.

I voted OG because his defense is irreplaceable but it's nice that some nights we have a different 3rd player whos showing out

Honestly it’s hard to order them all as they all bring so much. If I had to:

Towns
Brunson
OG
Mikal
Hart

And I think hart is a really good player so yeah. Our starting lineup is elite. Don’t mean it as a slight to anybody

Haven't been on here in a while, glad there's been a huge turnaround on Mikal, he did put the work in to get that respect back. It's hard to answer the question though because it's like the whole being worth more than the seperate parts. Alone OG or Mikal is nice, but together to have that switching ability on defence against elite wings is special, while also both guys enhance the offence by stretching the floor, both having some ability to create their own offence (obviously Mikal moreso). I mean Hart is a decent part of that switching ability too and all guys have a pretty 'healthy ego', where they believe in themselves but don't mind giving up their own spotlight for the better of the team. Based on per 100 numbers its Hart by a mile but guys like Mikal did have a poor start to the season too.

Can't believe I am saying this but I think its Hart.

He is like a swiss army knife and improved a lot. Good defender, great rebounder, good passer and good at finishing. Respectable 3 point shooter.
