Unfortunately Hardy is pretty much the only coach that doesn't test all the guys in the preseason. Every other team is sitting key players each game to get a better look at young guys.When the NBA shrinks the number of preseason games, coaching staffs don't have as much flexibility to test fringe players as they need to get their core ready.
I think the shorter preseason is great, but this is one of the outcomes from such a short schedule.
I give little to no weight to preseason performances. I want to see people perform when it matters.
