The friendship between Josh Hart and Donovan Mitchell has come a long way from the Villanova practice gym.
They were in the 2017 NBA draft class together, took part in some of the same draft workouts, and have spent large portions of their offseasons training in Miami.prepare to meet in an opening-round, best-of-seven playoff series“I was on FaceTime with him earlier [today]. We have the same barber, have to make sure the barber was there so I can get a fresh cut,” Hart said with a smile after practice Wednesday. “It’s exciting because that’s someone I’ve known for the last seven years.
“As a competitor, if you’re not excited for these matchups, for these games, I think you’re kind of in the wrong sport,” Hart said. “When you’re playing against the Donovan Mitchells in the league, someone who is a good scorer on all three levels, someone who is shooting almost 50 percent from the field, 38 from 3, high-80s from the [free-throw] line, he’s getting it done from everywhere on the court. So definitely getting excited for someone like that.
In those 25 games, he averaged 10.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and shot a through-the-roof 51.9 percent from 3-point range.His 123.1 offensive rating was the best on the team. Hart was initially thrilled when he was traded to the Knicks, getting to return to his East Coast roots and reunite with former Villanova teammate Jalen Brunson.
