Hart scored zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3PT) but added six rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block in 25 minutes during Wednesday's preseason victory over the Wizards.
As expected, Hart remained in the starting lineup Wednesday, a move that was facilitated following the Julius Randle trade. Hart was a real difference-maker down the stretch last season, taking advantage of injuries to other players. Although he is slated to begin the season as a starter, managers should temper their expectations, especially on the offensive end. With that said, his ability to grab out-of-position rebounds and compile assists and defensive stats make him a viable target in the later rounds of drafts.
