List of 19 year olds who ever did shit in the league other than Luka.

1. Lebron James
2. Kevin Durant
3. Carmelo Anthony
4. Kyrie Irving

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.

Jalen Green was pretty good last year and so was Josh Giddey


Here's a list of some of the best all time

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.

Yes I know that. I was talking about guys who played at close to Luka's level.

OH I must've missed that part I thought you were just listing guys who came right in and contribute. Guys have done it. THe problem i'm seeing from him is he doesn't do anything exceptionally well. The good ones come in and at least come in solidifying a role for themselves whether its attacking the basket, dribbles, passing, rebounding or defense.....his game is scoring and in the NBA that's inconsistent starting out.
