Made a compilation of Hardy’s defense against the Blazers. He’s starting to look real good on that end.

    I’m going to watch the whole thing but it’s not a good look when he literally fouled Dame in the first clip and the refs missed it.

    I think he’s been jumpy and kinda mid on defense. I think with time it’ll clear up. He’s super young and has shown flashes of being decent on defense. So overall I couldn’t be happier with how he’s looked for a second round pick.

    Not sure that “contrasting” the first play with Reggie in the 2nd play is fair. No one was tagging Dame in the first play so Hardy had no choice but to fight over the screen. In the 2nd play it looks like Reggie expected Powell to switch

    sorry to say but that’s not good defense. a lot of times he’s too far back. he gives up a lot of space. he can’t fight through screens (easier said than done). the first clip, you can’t reach like that against Dame. 9 times out of 10, refs will give him 3 FTs

    but I’m also on the Hardy Pardy. more minutes for him

    Hardy is improving and that is what has gotten him on the court. The offense is not in doubt but the improvement on defense has been there. It was never effort but scheme and talking.

    He’s talking more… he’s make the moves off the ball and he looks like he could be Dejonte Murray like on the defensive end with the athleticism and long arms.

    He has that kind of potential.

    He looks tall and long on court

    Pre-draft measurement is 6’4 with 6’9 wingspan

    For a second round pick he has shown good flashes. Thats all you can ask for in the first year. Anything else is gravy. I think he has great potential tho. Could see him being a solid starter or first guy off the bench type very soon.
