That's pretty much the entire list. Including Luka, that's five players total and all of them are first ballot future hall of famers, all of them all-time great prospects coming into their respective drafts. Nobody drafted lower than #3.
So yeah... we probably should not get too carried away expecting him to be a rookie phenom.
And I've mentioned this before but it's worth mention again- Hardy is not only coming right out of high school, but even for high school player, he's historically inexperienced because he missed his entire senior year because of the pandemic. The kid is very talented, but he is definitely very raw.

Well there's been other 19 year olds be contributors though. Hardy is a raw player. I think people want to gauge him like he's a top pick in the draft. He was a 2nd round pick. He should be held to 2nd round pick standards IMO.
