Straight out of the Mitch playbook. Draft the skilled/talented player that fell, in part, due to age/seniority (see Nance and Clarkson). |

love the fact we got this kid + a 2nd rounder instead of taking the 27-28 picks and calling it a night.
GSW fans wanted GSW to buy the 30th pick and grab Hart...
Says alot about the type of player he is. |

What Josh Hart brings to the Lakers
Quote: | Josh Hart is a versatile shooting guard with NBA-level size and length who does a bit of everything to help the team win. Hart is a very complete player, who’s best NBA attribute right now might be his jump shot (40.4 3p% last year). He’s a very efficient player, who’s added in some playmaking over time to his tough defense and mature style of play.
At 6-foot-5 and 210 pounds with a 6-foot-8 wingspan, Hart has solid size and length for the 2 guard position. He can guard multiple positions on defense with his smarts, tenacity and strength. Hart’s defensive and shooting ability gives him role playing potential as a 3-and-D guy right now, which gives him a high floor as a prospect.

Thrilled with this pick. Hart is going to be an impact player IMO
Whether in rotation or if he works his way into a starting role in the future. I like the possibilities of him and Ball as a tandem. |

How's he a steal when he was projected as a 2nd round pick?
Should've drafted White at 28 instead of trying to get cute and losing him to the Spurs.

The fact that he can guard the ultra quick guards probably factored in. But I do remember that when he worked out for the lakers that he really impressed them. He was one of the guys I thought they would consider there. I thought it could be Ojeleye (and he is still out there but expect him to go pretty soon).
On to #42!

Really happy with this pick. Seems like a tough-minded winner who can shoot. Can never have too many of those types of players. |
