22-55 on layups for Jaden Hardy?

Is he possibly a WORSE finisher than Josh Green was coming out of college??

Could be some bad shot selection there as well that the coaching staff can help with.  I see him going one on two or three to the rim. The positives are that he got to the rim and had confidence to no matter how much he was guarded.  

After watching Luka the past few years I have relaxed a little bit on efficiency. There is also something to be said about being relentless. Win or lose you know Luka is not going down hiding like Tatum did. That is my frustration with Josh Green. If Hardy’s problems are being caused by over aggressiveness tht is something that can be worked upon. It is easier to work on that than have to constantly force a guy who does not want to make plays. 

Again not saying we got a steal. It is a low risk decent reward move. I like it, but there were some players who went after him that I would rather have taken a chance on if the Mavs had already had a deal in place before this pick was made.
