I'm in lockstep with you on the youngsters, too. It's not that I think Hardy is hopeless, but I'm starting to feel like the team is already too good to allow him the kind of learning on the job it's going to take as a ball-handler. He might be a better fit somewhere else.
Yeah, to me having a movement shooter like JJ Redick, or look at what a revitalized Duncan Robinson did for Miami last playoffs, adds so much more value to an offense. Even Grant Williams developing the dribble side-step 3 the way he has is huge. But the guys who can curl around screens and rise up on the move have a different kind of gravity that impacts an offense by bending the defense.
Tim has been guilty of poor shot selection at times but seems to have reigned those tendencies in to an extent and is playing great as the 6th man. I would only move him for a clear upgrade at this point.
