I think that’s exactly the role they’ll carve out for Hardy. Spot minutes were available this season and rotation role for 15-20 per game next season. I looked back at my “best case” comp and Anfernee Simons went from 7 minutes per in year one to 20 in year two. Stalled out in year 3 (maybe some injuries? They still had CJ & Trent too so less minutes available) and then exploded in year 4—which was last season. This season Simons looks like a future annual fringe all-star.
