Josh Hart is the NBA’s 13th best shooting guard, according to a top-40 ranking from Zach Harper of The Athletic. That’s definitely going to sit well with the New York Knicks, their fans, and the 30-year-old.
This is only partly tongue-in-cheek. Probably. Many of the names in front of Hart are difficult to argue against. Anthony Edwards (No. 1), Devin Booker (No. 2), Donovan Mitchell (No. 3), and Desmond Bane (No. 4) all populate the top of this list.
Landing in 2-guard territory likely also ensures that Hart gets his highest placement possible. Positional designations are hazier than ever, but he’d have a hard time cracking the top 15 if he was shoehorned into wing or big-man rankings.
