Josh Hart On Who Is The Hardest Player To Guard
Last year, Josh Hart was one of the most surprising rookies and instantly became a fan favorite in Los Angeles. He’s looking to improve even more in his second season and was already named Summer League MVP earlier this summer, after averaging 24.2 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.
In an interview, Hart was asked who the hardest player to guard in the NBA was, and he didn’t name his new teammate LeBron James, but James Harden instead.
According to Hart, it is not even close.
“The hardest to guard is James Harden, by far. BY FAR. I guarded LeBron, I guarded KD… James Harden is the most skilled and he’s very smart. You should just pray to God that he’s not going to get the ball – that’s what you should do when you defend him.”
