2022 NBA Draft: #37 Jaden Hardy (6' 3", 6' 9" WS) to DAL | two 2nds to SAC

Some of this stuff is for making decisions on players who might slip through the draft and be available to anyone.

One other note on workouts -- who works out for whom is highly determined by player/agent. Players expecting to be picked in the top 10, for example, wouldn't tend to want to bother with coming to Dallas or other teams drafting in the 20s. But some players have an overinflated estimation of where they will go, and they turn down invites they should have accepted.

These are the types of guys that I generally like to pick though (of course general rules have exceptions). The guys with that much confidence in themselves but get picked by in general have that chip on their shoulder (similar to Bane, we’ve all seen his disdain for being picked after Josh Green) and make sure to prove the doubters wrong. I also think Isaiah Stewart felt this type of way.

It does make for a bit of holding your breath moment when you didn’t get to have that in-depth first hand look at them though.
