Hardy is a gym rat. He wants to get better. Hardy will probably study Luka. And it just so happens that Hardy's current weaknesses are Luka's strengths. Hardy lacks change of pace, decision making with the ball and getting separation with patience and control. If Hardy models after Luka, these things will become strengths. Hardy already has the pure shooting stroke and ability to move without the ball. If he adds Luka style magic to his game the way Brunson did, in 2-3 years he will be an all-star. His ceiling is high. 

Very high.

I can't explain how badly I want you to be correct. 

We'll see. I was one of the few that wanted Hardy drafted. I believe in his talent. But history tells me it's going to take a while, if ever, for Hardy to become a solid role player much less an all-star.
