Jared Dudley didn’t try to hide the fact that second-year guard Jaden Hardy will be the Dallas Mavericks’ primary go-to player when the NBA 2K24 Summer League starts this weekend in Las Vegas.
After the multiple shining moments Hardy enjoyed as a rookie this past season, the Mavs are poised to do what they can in order to ramp his game up to the next level. Thus, Dudley said the Mavs spent this off-season’s first month just working on Hardy’s overall game.
“You don’t want, with someone who’s so young, to hold him back,” said Dudley, who is the Mavs’ summer league coach.
