Jaden Hardy generated plenty of buzz this season. The Dallas Mavericks traded into the second round of the 2022 NBA Draft to pick the former high school and G League Ignite standout, and he didn’t disappoint when he stepped on the court.

Simply put, Hardy was a bucket. The rookie showed out on offense, scoring at all three levels. While he can make nylon sing, he knows he has room for improvement. He plans to work on his game this summer and return even better next season.

“Going into the offseason things, I’m gonna look to work on for sure getting stronger and faster,” Hardy told the media after the last game of the season.
