I was never impressed with Josh Hart anytime I saw him play. Hopefully i'm wrong.

Yeah but he is insurance against Dlo and possible Clarkson trade.

Ohhhh that's good. I know nothing of him. If he's a good shooter i'm ok with this.

Onto us getting a steal in the 2nd round.

Hart may not end up being any better than Clarkson, but i'll still want Clarkson relegated to the bench.

I think its a good pick, not the Semi Ojeleye pick i wanted but it fills the need. guy can shoot (we need that) and can defend (doubly so).

He also is athletic and has a handle for the ball. I think it could be a steal, especially as he is the type of guy you want next to Lonzo.

I genuinely think he could put up 10PPG on decent efficiency next year, i think we did here what we did with Clarkson, just way less of a volume shooter. Also we're getting a winner here and a guy who was important to their NCAA title win.

we need people that can shoot the 3 badly on the team with our two best three point shooters gone.

Hart was a mid first round potential guy but kept on dropping. Teams dont like seniors but he can light it up.

the Kuzma pick wasn't that good given who was there. But if he is a gym rat then he'll grow into a great player.

Believe it or not, even after so many years of success, I've kind of forgotten what it's like to be in a playoff series. :D
