Josh Hart explained why he switched from No. 5 to No. 3

”No. 3 was my number since I was a kid. I came in and Corey Brewer, Brewski had No. 3 so I was kinda bummed I couldn’t get it, and then he left and I was like ‘I can’t try to switch numbers mid-season, so I’m just gonna kind of let it rock out. But then IT (Isaiah Thomas) got it, and I was a little nervous with what he was doing in free agency. But when I saw he was going to Denver I was like ‘I gotta get it.’”

”It’s a solid number. I really grew to love five and then I had this jersey that was No. 3 and I was like ‘oh wow that looks a little different now.’ I forgot what I looked like wearing a No. 3 jersey. And people called me ‘Cinco,’ my agent started that, and I was like ‘I kinda like that, it’s got a nice ring to it.’”

”I can do like a Kobe Bryant thing, like go three and five.”
