With the start of the 2018-19 season right around the corner, here are three goals for Los Angeles Lakers guard, Josh Hart.

The Los Angeles Lakers might have had some tough years recently, but with a talented young core, the future is bright.

After years of struggling, the Lakers have finally started to turn things around. Due to some changes in the front office and solid drafting, the Lakers are likely to finally break their playoff drought after the addition of LeBron James.

Even though the Lakers didn’t have a superstar, they had a very appealing young core of talented that appealed to James. One of those talented young players is Josh Hart. The Lakers selected Hart with the 30th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft out of Villanova.

Coming from one of the top college programs in the country, Hart was a steal for the Lakers late in the first round. Due to him being a four-year player in college, his draft value might have been hurt a bit since he wasn’t 18 or 19-years-old.

However, Hart was a winner in college and the Big East Player of the Year. In his rookie season, Hart had to work hard for minutes, but he played very well for the Lakers when he was on the court.

While Hart might not have the same attention of him as Lonzo Ball or Kyle Kuzma, he is very much part of the young core for the Lakers. As he heads into his second season, here are three goals for Hart in the 2018-19 season.
