Or with other words: if Dinwiddie would have impressed more, Gortman would have had worse chances at getting signed.
The Hardy hate is really strong in this fanbase. Gortman´s AST/TO rate in the preason was 1.1. Hardy´s was 1.54. Gortman shot the ball extremely well 52/57/100, but Hardy also shot 41% from three and led the whole team with 15 PPG in 26 minutes. Dinwiddie is Gortman´s main competition. He shot 30/27/67 with an 0.833 AST/TO ratio. Gortman stood out for his shooting in pre-season especially against Thompson, Grimes, Dinwiddie, Williams and Lawson, who were all somewhere between bad and awful.
