Josh Hart Impresses at Miami Pro League

Josh Hart competes as the iron man of the New York Knicks. During the Knicks' 2024 playoff run, Hart averaged 42 minutes per contest. Hart played 97.4 of the possible minutes as the Knicks fell one game short of the Eastern Conference Finals. Prepping for another long season, Hart plays in the Miami Pro League to prepare for a deeper playoff run.

Hart played in the championship game of the famous offseason league.

While the NBA is the best league in the world, many former and current players require summer hoops action. Hart, hungry for competitive basketball, teamed up with Michael Beasley, the No.2 pick in the 2008 NBA draft. Their team is "We Them Ones."

Hart showcased a slight handle and ability to finish through contact in a highlight possession. After trying to pass the ball from mid-court, Hart's defender deflected the attempt back to the Knicks wing. Hart recovered by making one dribble between the legs into a slight euro-step, finishing over a taller defender in the paint.

The Knicks' role player morphed into an adequate three-point shooter during the 2024 playoffs, as he converted 37 shots from behind the three-point line. Hart's shooting is essential, as he'll have extra space with Jalen Brunson, Julius Randle, and, to a lesser extent, Mikal Bridges taking attention from opposing defenders.

New York's iron man will need to lead the second unit if Tom Thibodeau slides Hart to the bench as he finds a new rotation with the 2024-25 Knicks roster. Moves like the one he showcased in the Miami Pro League will be helpful when not featured in lineups with Brunson or Randle.
