MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

SL has me worried about trying to make him something he isn’t.

I see that POV, and it might end up being the correct one. 

Then again, there aren't really many guys Hardy's size with big roles in the league who don't play PG, at least to a certain extent. There used to be a dividing line between "true point guards" and "combo guards" (which is, I suppose, where Hardy would've fit) but it seems lately that the league has decided A) all PG's need to be scorers, so B) all scoring guards who need the ball in their hands (which is undeniably the attraction with Hardy, right?) need to be able to run the offense a little. 

It just seems like Hardy needs to get AT LEAST to like a Jordan Clarkson level of offensive setup skill if he's to have any type of real role, the way I see it. Or, since we're talking about the Mavs, doesn't he have the physical skills to do that as well or better than Curry? So, if he's not as good at it as Curry is (yet), doesn't that argue for him not being quite ready?
