I don’t remember Brunson in SL. Does Hardy look better or worse in comparison? Not that it matters. Just trying to get an idea of what SL play is supposed to look like for a 2nd round pick.

I remember Brunson very well.  I was slightly disappointed.  He was indeed hesitant and tentative.  I expected much better.  I do think one factor, at the time, was that Brunson had come from a good system strongly oriented in teamwork.  He was a team member.  The summer league is a freewheeling free for all with many players simply trying to play hero ball, or showcase themselves.  In other words I don't think summer league is a good indicator of what any individual player will become in the NBA.

As we all know...JB became a pretty good "little" player. 

I have not watched Hardy, or any of the players, because of time constraints...and because I don't think it is a good indicator of a future career.
