PGDT: Mags at Mavs 7:30pm CT Bally Sports

[EricaLubarsky]

Hardy still hasn't shown much.

Doncic/Bullock/DFS/Wood/McGee is a nice mix of offense and defense, although you maybe need a small guard like Frank/Wright/Green to matchup defensively with the opposing jitterbug PGs while Doncic guards 2/3. I'd hope that would be Hardy, but he's super inconsistent offensively and has a LONG way to go to be even a moderately good defender.

SD/THJ/Green/Kleber/Powell wouldn't be an awful second unit

I know he's popular pick, but I just haven't been impressed with Hardy.

He's seems more like a shot chucker in the THJ mode and defense is non-existent from him.

I guess if push came to shove I'd roll with Green because I think he can at least handle the ball a little and pass.

He's not going to create his own offense, but he might be great in the starting lineup getting this team transition points.

Plus, it would be awfully hard to score on this team early in games with Green, DFS, Bullock and McGee.

I think they could get by with him for the 1st 6-8 minutes to start off games and he can't be any worse than Powell who always got the start and didn't deliver much on either end of the floor.

If the shit idea of not keeping Luka and Wood together for every possible minute must exist. Then I am also on the Green S5 boat. Or just fn leave Spence.

Hardy is fine and I'm not worried about how he's playing right now. He's a rookie and should not be thrust into a starting role yet. He hasn't earned his stripes and isn't helping the team on defense. I don't see him starting any games in reg season unless there's a few injuries.
