I've been a believer in Hardy since before his draft. He was number 1 on my board at 26 but I felt he was going to go mid lottery. The fact he fell to 36 AND the Mavs drafted him made me overjoyed.
I still think he's an incredible talent and I don't want to cap his ceiling, but I'm not super confident in his future all-star bid. But who knows? I think he's leaning closer to the JR Smith/Jordan Clarkson comp than the all-star version we want to see.
With you. I think his ceiling is 6MOTY which would still be an impressive accomplishment. Maybe I'm a little disappointed in his summer league play. I'd strongly consider the BR deal minus the draft pick. Alex is a two-way utility knife.
