I think the days of labeling guards as one or the other are almost over, and especially with Hardy, I don’t think people realize how important having the ball in his hands is to his chances to flourish. Without him developing as an offensive initiator, he’s going to end up just like Hardaway. He may never have a PG next to his name, but he’s got to be able to play that position to stay in the NBA, I think.
This seems like an extreme take to me. I mean if he did end up being just like Hardaway, that would not be the worst thing for a second round pick. Given your stances on Hardaway it seems strange to equate turning into Hardaway with not being able to stay in the league. He shoots over 40% on catch and shoot three's on high volume. I feel like that has value even if he isn't initiating offense. I'm not against him developing or anything, just that I don't think he is ready be out there without Luka or Kyrie on the floor.
