IT'S HARDY TIME: Jaden Hardy looking like a decent prospect

[mvossman]

I watched a little of the game last night.  Hardy is just too good for G-League.  I agree getting reps is positive and it appears they have him handling the ball more.  But he can do whatever he wants on offense.   It is much easier to get to the rim in the G-League.   He doesn't need to compete on defense in the G-league so this is the one area where he isn't getting a lot of benefit playing there.

He was overwhelmed in the G League last year.  Its amazing the difference in one year.  I would love to see them make a two for one trade at the TDL and then get Hardy some real minutes.  My guess is he will be equally overwhelmed playing against NBA regulars this year, but if he continues this progression, the sky's the limit next year.
