To insinuate that he’s a product of his environment would be unfair. On many nights, he’s the one pumping life into it. “He impacts the game, man,” Philadelphia guard Tyrese Maxey said of Hart. “I had no clue he had a triple-double, like not even a little bit. Now that I’m looking at the stat sheet, he had 17 rebounds. No one else on their team had double-digit rebounds. …When you get the ball out of Jalen Brunson’s hands, and it goes to (Hart), he’s going to make the right play almost every single time. He’s difficult. He’s difficult to cover, especially when you have that type of team and type of shooting around it. “He does a really good of, when he gets rebounds, pushing the pace. You’re so worried about Jalen Brunson, so worried about Mikal (Bridges), so worried about OG (Anunoby) and, when he’s playing, (Karl-Anthony Towns) because they can shoot so (Hart) can punch gaps and get layups. Then as soon as you start helping off the other guys, he’s making the right reads.” -via New York Times / January 16, 2025
