So here is . j u s t . o n e . e x a m p l e . why Hardy cannot play many minutes. Notice here how he doesn't know how to act on switches. His awareness is extremely low. He just puts his head down and runs after his own guy.
In basketball, you must be able to know when to switch your defensive coverage so as not to disturb and offset what other players on your team are doing. And look at Hardy here. He is completely oblivious to that.
So in this position Hardy should have just stayed where he is on this photo. But, as you can see, he is not able to do that. He is not able to notice what Luka is doing. He is totally blind to such things.
And in the last game I made one more comment about him not being able to convert a 2 on 1 fast break. Those are basketball essentials that he struggles with.
Yes, Hardy can score. Yes, he can also drive. But he lacks many, many fundamentals like this. When he drives he also puts his head down. And look at him on defense. He cannot be relied upon for basic coverage and switches.
However THJ's defense is bad, THJ is a much better defender than Hardy is. |
THJs defense is much better than Hardys? Come on now... THJ has been absolute shit as of late. Give him rotation minutes at least.
THJ is the one wrong thing with this team at the moment.
