do you think hardy is going to be a maverick long term? to me it seems like he is simply being buried deeper and deeper into the bench. his minutes are very sparing and its trending downward. I think he has the ability to be a 6th man of the year player but with all the guards on the roster and offense not being a huge need do you feel he will be a maverick beyond his rookie contract?
When you saw McKinley Wright take some of his minutes on the sole merit of trying on defense, it was very clear that Exum was always gonna banish him to the shadow realm.
Honestly I think the bigger reason for MW4 to play over Hardy besides defense was his ability to run the offense, Jaden is a gunner and has struggled at every turn with more ball handling responsibilities. I actually don’t mind his defense, I think he does a decent job staying in front of ball handlers, but his on ball game is still very inconsistent
