Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Flirts with double-double

Hardy totaled 21 points (6-16 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 121-116 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.

Hardy led all scorers with 21 points and looked sharp from beyond the arc, though it's also worth noting that he logged a game-high 34 minutes, which inflated his final line. He figures to face an uphill battle for regular playing time competing against the likes of Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes, but Monday's performance was a strong way to kick off the preseason for the young guard.
