Jaden Hardy was one of my favorite high school players to watch. He was an electric scorer who I thought had better all around potential than given credit for. He was the number 2 recruit in his high school class according to ESPN, ahead of future top 3 picks Paolo Banchero and Jabari Smith Jr. And he was projected to be a top 5 pick in the 2022 NBA draft going into the season. Instead of going to college he chose to join the G League Ignite program to focus on developing his game. And if he had a really good year with Ignite he could make a push for the number 1 overall pick. However Hardy had his ups and downs in the G League. Which did drop his draft stock. However even with his struggles I still thought he was a first round prospect that I would have taken as high as the late lottery based off his scoring tools. And I thought he was an absolute steal at pick 37 to the Mavericks. Hardy hasn’t gotten the most consistent minutes to say the least. But he has shown flashes of the player I saw in high school. And long term, I think he can be a really good player.

My name is Noah Terranova. On this channel I make videos breaking down the film of basketball players in both long term and single game contexts. I use a combination of advanced stats, basic stats, tracking stats, and what I take away from watching the games to form my evalutions. My goal is to give my own perspective on the game with my own little twist on how I choose to present it.

He’s averaging 24 PPG as a starter for the Mavs. Future all star
Jaden’s raw talent is undeniable. His shot creation and first step are elite. His handle and decision making on both shots and passes are his biggest flaw. Jaden learning under Kyrie will do wonders for his game.
him and josh green are sleeping monster
It is March 19 2023 this guy will become one of the best in the league in about 2024 – 2025
hardy better than kyrie/luka if given same minutes
If he can get better with his touch around the rim he's a legit option as the Mavs starting 2 guard and second star. I'm saying that because kyrie definitely leaving.
Hardy's coming along nicely. Coach Jason Kidd has caught some flack for X's and O's this season, but he's done really well at developing the young talent on the Mavericks roster.
As a Mavs fan I was excited to get him and it’s been a fun season. The fact he comes in at random times and give it his all is a great sight.
The fact that he can learn better/ more consistent handles and finishing from Kyrie and better playmaking from Luka is insane. I think he's be like Jordan Poole is for the Warriors
This kid is a walking bucket. Everyone told me I was crazy when he was coming out when I said a saw a young Bradley Beal in his tape. I told them I thought his floor was Buddy Hield and I thought his ceiling in Bradley Beal. They told me I was insane. I'm sticking to it. This is Young Bradley Beal. His first step is Elite and he's got a good handle plus a pure smoth shot. He's gonna be a beast. I was SO happy when we traded up to get him. I got more worried we were going to lose him with each pick that went by. He is who I wanted us to get going into the draft. Had we not traded for Wood I would have been ecstatic to get him with our 1st round pick. To get him in the 2nd is insane. I think he is going to end up being the best player in the draft. The Steal of the Draft for sure.
He’s averaging 24pts 5reb and 3ast as a starter, and he’s been close to hitting 30pts in a game, It’s a small sample size but considering he is a 20 years old rookie I think he has All Star Potential, he would be amazing if his playmaking improved considering how good he is at drawing defenders
Kidd need to play Harden and Woods more!
A team without legit playoff aspirations?? But they made the conference finals last year…js..oh and two words, Luka Kyrie
As a Mavs fan i dont understand the hype. 29 other teams passed on him for a reason.
Super accurate analysis imo absolute steal in the second round he’s very young and already has the shooting ability and skills to become a huge piece for Dallas he needs more time to learn improve and mature ..
I been saying this jalen gonna be the bench scorer on the championship team 6MOTY an even more athletic Jason terry 😁
i still dont know how the mavs manage to land on these 2nd round gems lol i just hope they didnt waste his time or let him walk away for nothing like what happened to jalen brunson
