The five-star recruited decided to forgo college and signed with the G League Ignite last season. In 12 games during the showcase, Hardy averaged 17.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists while shooting 35.1% from the field and 26.9% from 3 on 6.5 attempts.
Hardy is projected to be taken in the dead zone of the draft for the Thunder: 12th would be too high but 30th would be too low. If the Thunder are interested enough in Hardy, it will likely require either a trade up or down.
The Thunder continue to hold workouts with 2022 NBA draft prospects as the draft is just a few weeks away on June 23.
