This season's Trail Blazers have been very disappointing, and they have only finished with a record of 25 wins and 34 losses, ranking tenth in the West. Sending away CJ McCollum, Powell and Covington at the trade deadline, when everyone was not expecting them, they got a 4-game winning streak led by a group of young people, which was indeed a bit unexpected by the fans!
In these four wins, Hart played in 3 games, averaging 36.3 minutes per game, and was able to get 24 points, 5 rebounds and 4.3 assists, and has played an All-Star status. In terms of shooting percentage, Hart is also extremely good, shooting 60% from the field, 52.4% from three-point range, and 76.5% from the free throw line, except for a slightly lower free throw percentage, there is no problem!
In the Pelicans this season, Hart averaged 13.4 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, and did not show too good form. But after coming to the Blazers, his shooting opportunities and weight on the court have improved significantly, which has also made his efficiency and data on the court a qualitative improvement. The last three games have scored 23, 27 and 22 points respectively, which is really outstanding!
For the Blazers, there is no Lillard and McCollum in the current team, and the team's new double gun seems to have become more and more mature. Hart came to the Blazers to average 24 points, 5 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game! Another youngster, Anfinnie Simmons, averaged 17 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game, contributing to many high-scoring performances this season, shooting 51.1% from the field, 46.9% from three-point range and 88.9% from the free throw line, making it the Blazers' biggest gain this season!
It can be said that the Blazers' new double gun is now approaching maturity, and if the team continues to have Lillard as the core, we have reason to believe that in the next few seasons, these two players will become the best helpers around Lillard!
