The New York Knicks are one of the most talented teams in the NBA, especially their starting lineup when fully healthy. Led by Jalen Brunson, he, alongside Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Josh Hart, can all go off for 20 or more points on any given night.

While that's important to have, at the end of the day, championship teams are successful since everyone can play their role to the best of their abilities. For the Knicks, Hart is typically the odd one out, serving as the glue to this team rather than a player who shoots 10 or more shots per game.

Sixth on the team in scoring this season, Hart is still having a good season, scoring the ball, averaging 12.2 points on 50.1% from the field and 40.4% from three-point range. He's scored 19 or more points in four of his last six contests, but he knows his role on this team is to typically sit back and set everyone else up.

After the team's 111-89 victory over the Boston Celtics, Hart was asked about his discipline in scoring the ball, understanding when and when not to be aggressive in getting his shots.

"I think I acquired it in Portland...From then on, I got in like, let me work out how I can help these guys, find them in good positions. Games like this, where sometimes that sacrifice is me having to go out there and be super aggressive and keep them honest," Hart said.

Hart had the highest scoring average of his career with the Portland Trail Blazers, all be it 13 games. He averaged 19.9 points on 50.3% shooting from the field, shooting the ball 14 times a game and getting to the line several times. However, he's had to take it back now in New York, but still shows those flashes.

"It definitely took a little bit of getting used to. I think right now, I'm in a good headspace with it," he added.

Hart went on to add that, as much as he doesn't mind being aggressive and scoring, he also enjoys setting up his teammates as well. He's averaging 5.0 assists per game, ranking just behind Jalen Brunson at 6.1.

He is far from the flashiest player, but Hart might be the second most valuable player on the team, given what he does in all areas of the game. A winner at the college level with Villanova, he's sure to be an X-Factor in the postseason as he looks to bring the New York Knicks to the NBA Finals.
