NEW ORLEANS – To say that Tim Hardaway Jr. has adapted well to the role of sixth man would not be doing him justice.
He’s off to a fantastic start in terms of shooting the ball and if you hadn’t noticed, he’s also among the league leaders (with former Maverick Jalen Brunson) in number of charges taken with eight in nine games.
In a season when the NBA is cracking down on flopping, Hardaway has not allowed it to impact his passion for putting his nose (and other body parts) in the way of driving opponents.
