The right thing for the wrong reason is still the right thing. The Mavs seem to do that a lot (JB, Wood, now maybe Hardy getting a more important role). Hardy could be a nice complementary piece with explosive moves to the basket that can take advantage of space created by defenses focusing on Luka. Luka changes defensive alignments like no other player in the NBA (and no one is really even comparable). Or, maybe Hardy can add some needed bench scoring, which is suffering with Wood starting. I don’t know if his defense will be viable, but they need to give him a shot.
