It's a good post, KL. Not that you are doing it, but we can't equate Josh to Jaden. Josh has hit walls along the way and look stunted which makes this season even more remarkable for him. He showed flashes last year but more often than not looked like a deer in the headlights. Those flashes are what he's bringing consistently now so kudos to him.
Hardy is built different. He's hit walls too, but he tends to smash through them on the next opportunity. We know he's basketball fiend, loves practicing and coaching. I'm sure Josh does too but Hardy has the "it" factor, the confidence you just can't teach. He's always comfortable out there no matter who he is playing alongside. That's not to say that he will not meet a wall that he can't run through, but we need to keep feeding his basketball computer minutes and luckily for him, he's going to get that opportunity as he and Josh are really the only one's capable of creating offense for themselves and others and boy does our second unit need that help.
I'm probably higher on Hardy than most but he has something that was noticeable right away.
