Josh Hart is 6-feet-4 but is comfortable fighting in the paint with giants, a task he’ll be required to undertake as the Knicks’ backup power forward.
CHARLESTON, S.C. — Josh Hart is only 6-feet-4 but is comfortable fighting in the paint with giants, a task he’ll be required to undertake as the Knicks’ backup power forward.
As Hart explained Tuesday, he essentially played power forward at his previous stop in Portland because former teammate Jerami Grant, a 6-8 power forward, often guarded the perimeter.Hart also played power forward with Team USA in the World Cup, although that ended disappointingly without a medal. Hart’s greatest asset is his motor, which runs like it never missed a full-service oil change.On the wing, Hart was able to leave his man and get a running start for the rebound.
Toppin, who played sparingly as Randle’s backup, was traded to the Pacers for two second-round picks.
