OKLAHOMA CITY — When the first round of fan voting for the NBA All-Star rosters was announced Thursday, the Knicks had representation with Karl-Anthony Towns third in the frontcourt and Jalen Brunson fourth among guards. And those two will likely make the roster once the player and coach votes are counted.

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart is fresh off of a pair of double-doubles in his last two games as he continues to make his mark for his team. Hart is only growing more comfortable in his role with the Knicks and head coach Tom Thibodeau is happy with what he has seen.

The NBA is a tough business, and the New York Knicks were reminded of that when Isaiah Hartenstein left them for the Oklahoma City Thunder this past offseason. Josh Hart, though, has no ill will toward the seven-footer.
