Hardy doesnt make the best basketball play consistent enough for me yet.
Like THJ, he thinks he needs to shoot when the ball is in his hands.
We have seen and discussed this on this board...no one likes that style of play. Get a better team player on the team that at least considers passing the rock.
I will be hounded with bad excuses as to why THJ and Hardy do this and wont buy it.
I use to be hard on Hardy about his fumbling his crossover all the time in to turnovers. He seems to have cleaned that up...credit there. I like his style when he attacks the rim. I like his passing ability when he does it. I dont like his Alan Iverson/And-1 ball handling...its too 1990's...but it is a skill...just not something you employ in the NBA unless you are Godly like Luka and Kyrie...he is good at it though when he doesnt fumble it.
Hardy like THJ...just hasnt shown consistent good decision making on the basketball court. He is very talented though and there is something there. I just think he might be blinded by a "gotta get mine" trait or "main character syndrome"
If the way Hardy and even Brandon Williams plays is because old vets in bball circles tell the young guys to go get yours because other guys will go get theirs and arent considering you....I kind of see this as bad advice if some kids are just ball hogging instead of making best basketball play because they think they need to show out to be noticed. I understand these guys are grinding for a nice paycheck and when they get their opportunity to shine they think they need to seize it...but there is a fine line. The advice should be to seize your opportunity but make the best decisions while doing it.
