Heart to Hart

Jason Hart makes me sick. I literally get ill watching him shoot. Before returning to action against the Nuggets, in which he had two assists and zero points, he sat out six games with back spasms. This gave UVSC alumnus Ronnie Price a chance to prove himself. For the season, J-Hart is averaging 3.3 points and 1.8 assists, and he really can't run the pick and roll. The problem with that is if you can't run the offense, then you need to be able to create shots for yourself and others which he can't do either. In the six game that allowed Ronnie to run that backup PG spot, he averaged five and two. Those arent blazing numbers but obviously they are better and while he's not great at it, he can run the pick and roll, and is way better at creating his own shot. With all-star weekend looming, the Jazz may look to move Hart and possibly C.J. Miles. Miles is simply a casualty of circumstance with the Korver trade, but is a free agent after the season potentially leaving the Jazz with nothing in return. He has played well enough in his limited minutes (and leads the jazz in 3pt %) to have value. I don't know who we could get but we always need interior defense at the 5-spot.
