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

[Mavs2021]

I’ll say one last thing (for now) about Hardy not being a top flight athlete.  If you were going to have to learn how to survive without elite athleticism and have to rely on different tricks, pace and footwork to maximize your game…there may not be a better duo (assuming Mavs retain Brunson) to learn from than Luka and JB.  

Those two utilize ELITE footwork, strength and savvy to make up for other guys being able to out athlete them.

I was thinking that, if they had measured Luka athletically at the combine, we probably could have gotten a future 1st round pick from the Cavs and taken Luka at #9.

Measurement guy: Did you slip or something? Wanna jump again?

Luka: Nah, I´m good.

Scouts: No vertical and lazy, too. Drinks coke as well.
