The most interesting things from Nico to me on Hardy:
1) They massively valued the fact that he struggled and didn't quit and kept growing to figure out how to be a better player in the GLeague context. This is an intangible thing that is really, really important to NBA success.
2) They massively valued the fact that he was the alpha dog on that G League ignite team and that even the vets would look to him and give him the ball.
I very much agree with these two things and it makes me much more optimistic about this pick and also Nico's draft team.
