I'll go one better, and it ties into the point I'm trying to make about Grimes.
Cam Thomas is exactly what Hardy would be if he was just given a high-minute role and a green light. I think there are 50 guys in the league who could do that. What you want are the ones who, when they play that role, contribute to winning, and it can be easy to misjudge which side of that fence a particular player falls on, but tons of players could be scoring more points, grabbing more rebounds, etc, than they are. "Counting stats" just don't really teach us much.
