His defense is good, but his offense is really bad. He's a very bad shooter from almost everywhere, and he turns the ball over a lot. You're inviting a floating defender to double Luka or anyone else.
But all the ideas have issues. I'm left wondering if ANY are better than what they already have.
I like Exum, who was so good in the regular season that I have to wonder if he was playing through injuries (and thus very sub-par) in the playoffs. Injuries would be a problem, but otherwise I think he has so much potential as 3-and-D if he can be healthy.
Not sure whether I like Hardy or not. He has a lot of ball-hoggery and passive D in his game, but he can create shots for himself. I can't decide if he's a work in progress, or a chucker with a ceiling.mindset that will be a low ceiling.
This seems dead-on accurate to me. But Hardy is how old? Not ready to give up on the kid.
Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.
