Josh Hart opens up on his new role in New York
Josh Hart has seen his role in the Knicks’ starting lineup change since Mike Brown’s arrival. He spoke about his new bench role, according to Kristain Winfield of the New York Daily News.
“I feel like I’ve got the biggest adjustment out of the whole team,” Hart said. “Just in terms of role, starting not starting, how the minutes are gonna be, and I’ve obviously talked to Mike about how the minutes are gonna go, and I’ve gotta know every position.”
“There’s gonna be times where I’m bringing the ball up, times when I’m the five and times where I’m the four, so I literally have to know every play from every different position,” he added.
Hart was a full-time starter last season. He averaged a massive 37.6 minutes per game and posted career highs with 13.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 5.9 assists. This season, he is averaging 23.8 mpg alongside 8.3 ppg, 6.9 rpg and 3.4 apg.
