IT'S HARDY TIME: Jaden Hardy looking like a decent prospect

[Chicagojk]

Thanks for posting this.  My question about Hardy is whether his D will ever let him start next to Luka.  Incredible potential for a valuable role, but on this team is he Jordon Clarkson (circa 2021 and prior) or Lou Williams?  If he’s next to Luka against starters, the rest of the lineup would need to be GREAT defensively.  Something like Defensive Center, DFS, Green, Hardy and Luka?

I am not sure, but it is an excellent question.

What I like about the roster you list above is in theory a defensive Center should not cost us a lot of assets.  So you would still have picks and salary to find one more player.   We just need Green to continue to improve and Hardy to be legit.   If so, this team looks much more promising if they hit on the trade they are gearing up for.  Although, Hardy and Green are probably going to be asked for in a lot of these discussions.
