As someone who had Hardy high on my wish list, I will be honest that it is probably more likely he is not with the team in two years than a part of the regular rotation. But I am hopeful and excited to see his development. I think we will need to be patient.
These next two years will be huge for him in his development. I was glad to hear that it appears he was coached hard this past season. It was probably good to see him humbled a little bit. It probably won't be the last time. He will need to take advantage and be a pro when no one is watching (besides his coaches). He will probably get very few minutes at least this year...maybe longer.
I am a believer in guys who are alphas on the court and when teammates also have this impression of them. I also love how he is a natural scorer. The rest of his game needs growth. The quickest way he will get court time is being able to not be a negative on defense and having trust in the coaching staff that he knows the correct rotations. The more playing time you get, the more growth you typically see.
