For the first three months of the season, Josh Hart looked like what the Lakers wanted and needed — a young, smart, hardworking role player who could fit next to LeBron James. From October to December, Hart shot 38.6 percent from three, had a true shooting percentage well above the league average, got to the rim, ran well and transition and was one of the guys LeBron reportedly respected most because of his work ethic and IQ. In January Hart shot 22 percent from three, had a true shooting percentage of 43 (well below the league average), and then in February he missed time because of that knee.
