Jaden Hardy was a player I thought may become a late-round steal, but the Mavs didn’t have much confidence in him during his rookie season. I took that as a sign that he might be a slower learner than a typical star, or that he wasn’t likely to become a star. That said, he was drafted into a Mavs team that was contending and it was never going to be easy earning minutes in that lineup. He’ll begin the 2024-25 season buried on the depth chart, but he may still get some valuable court time in his third season. 8/30/2024
