Josh Hart, the player profile that Chauncey Billups likes | NBA

He corresponds to the type of player that I appreciate, that is to say able to contribute on both sides of the field, and to play hard. “delivered the coach of the Blazers about his new player. ” When he’s on the pitch, he plays with a sense of urgency that we love as a coach. I can’t wait to coach him.

A renowned defender when he was a player, Chauncey Billups did not remain insensitive to the recruitment by his “front office” of a profile like that of Josh Hart. Able to go on a defensive mission on the best opposing striker, but also to sanction with a certain regularity behind the arc (34.5% success rate out of 4.1 career attempts), the former Wildcat from Villanova should get along very well with “ Mr. Big Shot”.

In any case, the player is certainly excited by this new challenge in Oregon: ” I appreciate my situation, I have a certain comfort, both short-term and long-term. explains Hart about the two years remaining on his current contract. The player would also like to settle in the long term in his new franchise. ” I’m not really looking to evolve in a fourth franchise, for a sixth coach. We will see. Of course, it’s still a business.

After an exemplary start to his career in Los Angeles, then a very good stint in New Orleans, Hart arrived in Portland without pressure: he proved that he was a high-quality “role-player” in the league. ” I am reassured in a certain way, I can simply concentrate on what I can do, to be the player that I am. I will try to improve on certain aspects, but above all I will continue to play my game.

Same story with Chauncey Billups, who does not intend to make the back a player he is not. ” I just ask him to be himself. If he stays true to who he is, both as a player and as a person, it will make us better. He is an additional stone in the edifice that we are trying to build.
