But he wouldn't replace Hardaway. He's not going to run around off ball screens and get shots off quickly. 

The guy he'd replace is DFS, who I thought you didn't want replaced. 

SOMEONE does have to play "the Hardaway role" imo. You can't just put Luka out there with Wood and three defenders and call it a day.

I would say that Siakam is more of a DFS replacement than OG.  OG has actually only played 1% of his minutes this year at PF and the majority of them coming at SF just like Hardaway.

Maybe "Hardaway role" was the wrong way to describe it and I mean Hardaway's minutes.  I think Luka would quickly find that he has another guy who can create his own shot a little bit and take some of the usage off of him.  I also see Hardy as the guy in the future who can come off screens and knock down shots (we've even seen signs of Green doing that this year in the Nugs game where he knocked down 6 threes and I'd like to see more of that).
