I’ve just never once thought Hardy was an NBA rotation player. I’d love to be wrong and this year he has a chance to prove he belongs.
Just think of him as a guy that can come in and get buckets off the dribble . I mentioned Jordan Clarkson before. Lou Williams. Jamal Crawford. All around his size, all defensively challenged. Clarkson only recently became a better playmaker. I don’t think Jaden has the crafty finishing ability of any of those guys, yet. But then those are three of the best recent bench gunners. It would be good if he could refine his mid range and floater game because he has that nice inside out dribble ala Chris Paul. Crawford was amazing at getting space and elevating in the lane for 5-10 footers. Just needs reps. I think he has a pretty nice stroke.
