I agree with this. I totally disagree (and always have) with those who don't believe Hardy can be a playmaker, and he's obviously showing signs that the investments they've made in that skillset for him are paying off. And, he even has stretches where he's not a complete zero on defense.
But, he's not going to be a Grimes, Exum or DJJ on defense anytime soon, do we agree?
I'm not against Hardy, and in fact, I kind of wish the rotation could workout to where BOTH he AND Grimes could play. Maybe he ends up being the 9th guy, especially if Kleber is hurt, which history tells us is a real possibility. I just see a possible scenario coming wherein Hardy plays INSTEAD of Grimes, and that's not the future I hope we're headed towards.
