The Los Angeles Lakers got a pair of breakout performances from their high draft picks, Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram, in their win over the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. But it wasn’t just those two that stepped up. The team was also treated to a few meaningful minutes from the 30th pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, Josh Hart. And by a few minutes, I mean a whole bunch.
Hart played a game-high 43 minutes in Dallas, including the entire second half, and he made the most of each one, putting up 14 points, 12 rebounds, six assists and a career-high five steals while posting the highest box plus-minus of the contest (+16).
