2022 Draft Profile - Jaden Hardy

Cody Taylor - USA Today - Apr. 9th: "He entered the season widely projected to be a top-five pick but is now considered a late first-round selection. He slipped on draft boards due to a variety of issues, such as his shooting. He converted 30.9% from 3-point range on 7.5 attempts per game."

Kyle Boone - CBS Sports - Mar. 16th: "Yes, he's been pretty inefficient, and yes, his decision-making as a playmaker probably needs fine-tuning, but he's been very productive for G League Ignite and remains a very gifted scorer and creator with room to develop."

Jonathan Givony - ESPN - Dec. 22nd: "He's struggled to generate good looks for himself this season, regularly freezes out teammates and has been a defensive liability for most of the season. NBA scouts in attendance questioned whether he has the quickness or feel to play the only style of basketball he seemingly knows."

Kyle Irving - Sporting News - Feb. 11th: " It's Hardy's development as a passer and playmaker that has really impressed me as he begins to fine-tune his skills to be a combo guard at the NBA level. He is one of the most well-rounded offensive threats in his class."

Ricky O'Donnell - SB Nation - Jan. 19th: "The 6’4 shooting guard has been woefully inefficient as a scorer this season, but the power and craft he shows in getting up shots shouldn’t be overlooked, especially given the competition he’s playing at such a young age. Scouts will want to see him either live up to his billing as a dynamo shooter, or start impacting the game in other areas."

Cody Taylor - The Rookie Wire - USA Today - Jan. 19th: "He hasn’t offered much in terms of outside shooting, converting on only 26.9% from beyond the arc on 6.5 attempts per game, and he as struggled in the midrange. However, he looks to have great shooting mechanics, so those numbers figure to improve."

NBA Draft Room - Jan. 15th: "Hardy is not an elite run/jump athlete but is a talented shot-maker with a polished offensive game."

Jeremy Woo - SI - Jan. 13th: "While still worthy of consideration in the lottery, his style of play has often been critiqued by scouts who would like to see him share the ball, exhibit more patience, and make better pass/shoot decisions."

Sam Vecenie - The Athletic - Jan. 6th: "He’s been highly inefficient, taking a bevy of horrible midrange jumpers and shooting just 35 percent from the field and 26 percent from 3. He has a negative assist-to-turnover ratio while averaging nearly four turnovers per game and has not been an effective defender."
