Los Angeles Lakers: Josh Hart deservingly receives praise from Luke Walton

On Sunday afternoon, the Los Angeles Lakers were able to cruise to an easy victory over the Phoenix Suns. The 120-96 win over the Suns was one of the most lopsided wins of the season for the Lakers, and a lot of players had strong games as expected.

While the Lakers had six players score in double figures, head coach Luke Walton pointed out the performance by Josh Hart. After winning the Summer League MVP, Hart proved that he is an important part of the young core.

In the win against the Suns, Hart only totaled six points in 18 minutes, but he had a ridiculous +/- of +32.
