Josh Hart anxiously checked Twitter, HoopsHype during free agency

Josh Hart on free agency: I’m seeing all the deals go by. I’m seeing Lonzo Ball going to Chicago, get paid. I’m seeing all these guys. And I’m just like, ‘Bro, like, my phone’s quiet.’ There’s nothing going on, right? The next day was kind of like the same thing. And I’m looking at my phone, looking at Twitter, I’m looking at HoopsHype, looking at the rumors, seeing what’s going on. And it got to a point where I deleted Instagram, deleted Twitter.

The last rookie to make an All-Defensive team was Tim Duncan. Does Herb Jones have a chance? Josh Hart thinks so. nola.com/sports/pelican… – 8:54 AM Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Willie Green on Josh Hart (career highs 12.9 ppg, 4.4 apg, 52% FG): Josh first of all is extremely bright. And he’s a competitor. We’re getting to see him at his best. I think he still has room to even go higher and that will come but right now he’s competing at an all-time high” – 3:46 PM Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_Lopez

Josh Hart said on @OldManAndThree he “hated playing basketball” last year but is happy he came back to the Pels because Willie Green has given him “a new outlook on basketball.” pic.twitter.com/fkz30uOQYy – 9:31 AM Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_Lopez

Devonte Graham tried to take a take foul but Damion Lee lost the ball. Instead, Graham is able to tip it to Jaxson for a slam. Then a long 3 by Bjelica turns into a Josh Hart layup.
Pels were up 83-78 and looking at GSW cutting into it and instead get a Kerr timeout up 87-78. – 10:00 PM Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
The jumpers are not falling for just about anyone on a night when Steph Curry isn’t playing, so Josh Hart follows Ingram’s lead and starts putting his head down and going to the rim. #Pelicans are 1/9 on threes but starting to get layups – 8:50 PM Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Pelicans starters tonight:
Devonte’ Graham
Josh Hart
Brandon Ingram
Herb Jones
Jonas Valanciunas – 7:24 PM Josh Hart @joshhart
