Or is it better to play as a substitute! The Knicks forward player looks really not suitable to enter the starter?

In the previous NBA playoff Eastern Conference Finals G3, the New York Knicks completed a big reversal in the final quarter after a hard battle, defeating the Indiana Pacers who played at home 106-100. After this game, the Knicks also tied the total score of the series to 1-2, and it seems that there is still a lot of suspense in this round of series.

In this game, the performance of the Knicks' substitute forward Josh Hart was obviously not ideal. Hart played 34 minutes and 02 seconds in the game, made 1 of 3 shots, 0 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 8 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, and 1 turnover and 4 fouls, with a plus-minus value of +5. Although Hart's data is mediocre and not much score, he has also played a certain role in passing and supporting. Hart's performance on the defensive end is also remarkable, and he can also give full play to his characteristics and advantages on the defensive end. Hart can also play a good effect on the court, and he also plays a relatively important role on both offense and defense. It seems that the arrangement for Hart to play on the bench was a very good decision and had a good effect. This arrangement directly prevented Hart from having a weak point in his figure.

In the NBA regular season this season, Hart played a total of 77 games in 82 games, averaging 37.6 minutes per game, averaging 13.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers and 2.6 fouls, shooting percentage of 52.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 77.6%. In the playoffs, Hart averaged 36.7 minutes in his first 15 games, with averaging 12 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1 steal, 0.7 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 3.3 fouls. He shot 48% from the field, 39.6% from three-point shooting percentage and 78.8% from free throws.

Hart's performance in the first two rounds of the playoffs was relatively stable, and he also made considerable contributions to the team's successful advance to the Western Conference Finals. However, in this round of the series, the situation seemed to be changing. Pacers players had obvious advantages in body shape. Hart's performance also showed a significant decline. His effect on the court was not satisfactory. His effect on the court was actually a bit unsatisfactory, and his disadvantages in figure were even used by his opponents in various ways. It was also because of the poor effect that Hart was also adjusted to the starting lineup in this game. Unexpectedly, Hart's effect after joining the substitute was quite good, which exceeded everyone's expectations. It seems that continuing to arrange Hart to appear in the bench is an ideal plan?
