Hart uncertain about his position in the starting lineup

Josh Hart scored two points on only two shots in the Knicks' most recent preseason game against the Wizards, but this performance made him question his place on the club. Hart said that he was "lost" and unsure of his future with the starting lineup after the close defeat of 118-117. In an attempt to establish his rhythm before the season-opening against the Boston Celtics, he even expressed interest in moving to the bench.

With the addition of shooter Mikal Bridges and high-scoring players like Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, this season offers a different kind of challenge for Hart. Even with the Knicks' stellar 4-1 preseason record, Hart is still unsure of how he can best improve the team's output. Hart's inability to score—he only managed two points in ninety minutes of action—underlines how difficult it is for him to fit into the team's offensive scheme.
