Josh Hart's contract with the New York Knicks grades out as an A CVI — the team is getting significantly more on-court production than what they're paying for. Josh's production is solid — comfortably above the league-average small forward threshold. His $19.5M average annual value ranks as mid-tier money for the small forward market. The value equation works strongly in the team's favor — they're getting upper-tier production at a price point that builds roster depth. At 31, Josh is on the back end of his prime — the contract value depends on how well he maintains production as age-related decline typically accelerates. The 3-year contract represents a moderate investment with room to exit if needed.
Josh Hart earns a B Performance grade this season — a quality starter-level small forward putting up solid numbers for the New York Knicks. This season, Josh is putting up 12.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game across 596 games. Josh's strongest area is RPG at 7.4, which compares favorably to the small forward median of 5.0. The biggest area for growth is PPG at 12.0 (small forward median: 15.0). Among 119 NBA small forwards graded this season, Josh ranks 15th. Josh is a reliable contributor who the New York Knicks can count on game to game.

Josh Hart enters the 2025-26 season with a **B+** sentiment grade, reflecting his status as one of the NBA's most genuinely appreciated role players and a beloved figure in New York basketball culture. His recent public sparring with Stephen A. Smith — where he called out the ESPN personality as a "part-time Knicks fan" — has actually boosted his standing with fans and media, who view Hart as an authentic franchise advocate rather than a locker room distraction. The media framing around Hart consistently emphasizes his relentless hustle, elite rebounding for his position, and high-basketball-IQ contributions that make him invaluable to the Knicks' playoff aspirations. His outspoken advocacy for players receiving a cut of NBA expansion fees has further cemented his reputation as a respected voice on player empowerment issues, adding credibility beyond his on-court production. While Hart lacks marquee star power, his combination of cultural cachet at Madison Square Garden, overwhelmingly positive recent media coverage, and team-first mentality positions him as one of the more favorably perceived veterans in the league. The consensus view is that Hart represents everything fans want in a role player: maximum effort, genuine personality, and unwavering loyalty to his organization.
