Prolific Performance has no East Coast bias, especially when
face to face with Oakland, Ca. point guard Elijah Hardy.
One word can describe Hardy’s game…”Nasty”;
Elijah plays with an edge – possibly due to the lack of respect he has received
nationally.
In evaluating Hardy we were
impressed by his motor, his baseline to baseline speed and his deceptive sideline
to sideline quickness.
Combine this with
his creative and unique handle Hardy can play with anyone in this age group on
either coast.
We were impressed with his
court vision, his EFFECTIVE Showtime flare to passing and his willingness to
share the ball as a pass first approach even in an all-star setting.
Some of the passes we have seen him make
remind you of another famous West Coast point guard.
Make no doubt about it Hardy does possess
scoring ability, especially at the bucket where he is an excellent finisher but
also on the perimeter.
The lefthanders stoke
consistency (shooting the same shot every time) needs work and his range must
be extended especially off the bounce, but with such a quick first step, the
respect his court vision garners, and the handles he exhibits he is often
shooting with defenders on their heels anyway.
His natural ability to see the court and superior passing has Prolific Performance
slating him as a point who can take on scoring responsibility and defend the
position at the next level.
