Grab an offensive assistant coach and work on this. We finally have a tough PG, but still play mostly ISO ball.
That very PG is playing some street ball though!
Hart is new to Thibs and visa versa. IQ had to reinvent his game to stay. He has done great.
iHart Misused? He had some heel issues? Now playing really well. We don't know everything do we?
We know Hart has played with Joker and had learned a bunch from him. That was the scouting report. That and supposedly being deadly from 3 and needing more shots from there
Last year Hart played for Clippers and did really well in his role; I didn't see any of those games but every Clip fan raves about what they saw from him. At the end of the year, Lue finally gave him the green light to shoot 3point shots.
I think it's fair to say that the Clips were hurt last year and underperformed. By the end of the year the Clips were a lock for the 8th seed and eventually lost in play-in game, so they had some leeway to open up Hart's shooting and he did well. For the season, he hit a grand total of 14-30 3pointers while also tacking on a very Obi'esque end of the year performance that is probably a little inflated numbers-wise. 9 of those 14 3point made shots came in the last 2 weeks of play. Half of his 3 point attempts for the season came in the last 2 weeks of play when the season was already decided.
Hart really shot well from deep in his GLeague games too. Had some gonzo McBride-type shooting displays.
So that's the context. That's the actual scouting report. He has potential, not that he was deadly. He has potential from 3point land as a center and probably more so as a passer.
Barely scratched the surface for either this year.
