I would say definitely top 8 and mayyyybe top 6 depending on how you view Bullock/Wood/Powell but I agree with your take overall.
I've been in the camp that Hardaway has simply not been good enough in his role up to this point this season but I'm excited to see what his role looks like moving forward. I think our biggest issue was that Hardaway was basically being used as the third or second most important piece on offense and he just wasn't playing up to that level at all this season (he had in previous seasons here). I think Green's emergence which seems to be pretty official now is going to move Hardaway into a role more suited for him as more of a 4th option on the floor. His defense is more than passable this year and he's the only guy on this team who takes charges so I think he'll do well as more of a strictly spot up shooter as opposed to being the second main offensive creator on the floor. Will be interesting to see how they handle him this offseason because now we're at the point in his contract where you can argue you're getting decent value out of him if he's placed in the correct role but he's also the easiest salary number to pair in a trade.
