I’m encouraged by the trust they had in Hardy in the playoffs. Seems like behind the scenes he was working on his p’n’r decision making and a lot of his playmaking/lob game was on point. Definitely something the coaching staff was drilling him on. We know he’s a gym rat who loves the game. With another good summer I don’t see why Hardy (and Exum) can’t be that guy. Hardy also improved defensively as the year went on, and was serviceable in the playoffs. Certainly no worse than THJ and better offensively.
A big component of this IS trust. That means Kidd and his staff have to allow Hardy, and Omax to a lesser extent, the failures and inevitable ups and downs.
I’m not sure Klutch would let him take the Max Christie deal, but I don’t see how offering that could hurt us. If internally they are convinced he is their 6th man Jordan Clarkson type bucket getter off the bench.
