Josh Hart says he feels "overshadowed" by the rest of the young Lakers core

Josh Hart has been solid in the Los Angeles Lakers since finishing first in the NBA Draft in 2017, finishing 30th overall this year.

Hart was one of the most effective two-way players on the list, with the exception of some tough experiences related to a nagging ankle injury. According to NBA.com, the Lakers have a net rating of +6.5 with Hart on the ground and a net rating of -2.9 for him.

Despite his success in his role, Hart Tania Ganguli of The Los Angeles Times, who still feels like he does not get the same recognition as his teammates who were drafted at the same time he was proclaimed: [1

This is not the first time that Hart has said anything in this direction.

In an interview with Paolo Uggetti of The Ringer in October, Hart said he feels like being in a "gray patch" between the veteran Lakers and the young core.

The above statements are true, Hart slowly blossoms to a player who can not be ignored.

Through 21 games with the Lakers this season, Hart achieves an average of 9.4 points per game, with 46.1 percent shooting out of the field and 39.4 percent shooting past the 3-point line. He also contributes 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.2 steals.

While his numbers are not mind-boggling, his influence goes beyond boxing.

Hart may feel overshadowed now, but if he keeps pushing his way, it will not be long.
