All season long I try and gauge this and I just dont know who to compare him to. Can he get to a 17-18 ppg starter or maybe a 15 or so ppg and one of the best 6th man in the nba? Or am I off on both...

I think he could be a legit starter for a lot of teams but I like him aot as a top tier bench guy. Brings energy off the bench, he's young and only getting better.

He could be an average starter on any team, however his best role will be as a high energy 6th man off the bench, which is where I think we will keep him as long as he's a Pel

Wesley Matthews type of production. Some good years there and there. In terms of scoring his ceiling is probably 16ppg. I don’t ever see him being a high volume guy. I don’t see him averaging more than 12-13 shots a game. That’s just isn’t his game nor his focus.

His rebounding is also noteworthy; not sure why we are limiting discussion to scoring.

This. I believe his biggest value is as a true 6th man.

He's a glue guy. Will get you 8-10 points, but almost same in rebounds. Great 6th man.

Arguably, starter talent, but most valuable coming off the bench.

I think hes at 90-95 percent of his ceiling right now. That being said hes a big piece to this team.

His facial and hand gesture reactions to random things are worth their weight in gold.

Them some mighty good stats, Sons.

His defense is always solid. He will get starter minutes coming off the bench. He is way more valuable than say JJ coming off the bench. He is a clutch player.

Just curious to see how high he can go. On this team with Jrue, Zo, Ingram in front, he will be coming off the bench.

Like a Toni Kukoc type of player.

Kukoc played the same type of position although he was taller, he won 6th man on one of the best Bulls teams of all time. Grit and grind player who knew his role.

Josh Hart is playing great right now, hope he can continue to grab as many rebounds as he is doing. High IQ player, great asset.

I know he's a good rebounder. We kind of know what he can do on that end and not a huge factor determining his ceiling.

Nah. He's up 3ppg from last year and only playing 3mpg more. Id actually prefer to take a few more mid range/driving shots than 3's. He's made some bi 3's but he's been excellent at the rim and drawing fouls.

Not a salary cap guru. Can they afford to give Ingram the max, re-sign Ball and still keep Hart?

Well I do not think they will lose any of them to pay Moore or Miller.

Not a superstar. But a solid piece to the puzzle
