Isaiah Hartenstein changes everything for the Thunder…
August 2, 2024
IHart’s IQ will make shot creation quite a bit easier when he’s on the floor. NY will really miss his unavoidable screens and passing.
If he can come here and shoot 1-2 3s per game at at least 35%+ accuracy, I don’t see how OKC isn’t in the WCF or beyond if they can stay relatively healthy.

Hartenstein is a good smart player. I don’t think he’ll have a problem fitting in. I also don’t think he’ll be getting bullied much. If he just plays his game, our guys are ballers, they know how to play with someone like him to raise the level of the whole team.
yes, Hartenstein’s screens are going to take Shai’s game to the next level….. but he was already MVP level…. So what’s higher than MVP level?
Isaiah Hartenstein literally had the highest Net Rating in Knicks history. It’s all these little things Hartenstein does. Brunson is an All-Star Guard but he is probably the same level of player as Fox with the Kings. It’s Hartenstein impact that made people think Brunson is in the MVP conversation (he finished 5th in MVP Voting)
But SGA is already MVP Level…. so what happens? Literally, what happens when OKC Adds a Player that does all the little things Like Hartenstein. They might finish the season with a Net Rating of +25…. You think I’m joking, I am not. Hartenstein had a +23 with OG in 500+ minutes of play when before the Knicks OG his best two man lineup was barely a +15 net rating. Hartenstein is beyond Impactful.
For OKC Fans, I want you to imagine adding Bam Adebayo to the team. But, make Bam a better Rebounder, Passer, Rim Protector, Shooter, give him a better touch to score, make him bigger, make him smarter, make him more unselfish. That’s what Isaiah Hartenstein is.
