Everyone has been wondering, who is Dwight Hardy? He was hardly mentioned by scouting services, there was no real buzz about him until signing day when he signed his LOI to St. John’s while his teammate Dwight Buycks signed with conference foe, Marquette. So what do we know about Dwight Hardy? Well he can score, score, and score at least thats what we keep seeing in the box scores. We know he has a tendency to hit the three ball in bunches but is he just a spot up shooter? Does he have handles? Can he create his own shot? No one knows?!?!?
No one has actually seen Dwight Hardy well a few have but not in about 2 years. So we’re left to read mostly box scores and speculate and imagine what he could be for St. John’s. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could go to Indiana and watch Dwight light it up a few times? Well we’re making that possible for you. Yes, thats right JohnnyJungle.com has exclusive game footage of Dwight Hardy and we will be tracking him for the rest of the season getting actual game footage (not just highlight reels).

Much thanks fo this bre.

Great stuff Dave.

Not too much Dwight in the first game but it was a blow out. I'm very interested to see when he plays a bit of better competition.

Doesnt look like hes the PG on that team?

Definitely off the ball. It seems like he'd be 3rd maybe 4th string PG on that team. #11 and Buycks(Marquette recruit) handle the ball mostly.

Who has ever said he's a PG?

Through 11 games he's scoring 13.8 per game shooting 79% from the line has made 23 three's. As discussed on another thread seems like he started very slow. He also had one weird game where he only scored three but besides that game in 6 of the last 7 he's averaging 18.7, shooting 82% from the line and has made 18 3's.

I think he was more or less curious if he could due to our need for a backup PG. I don't think he said it under the impression of thats what he expected out of him.

Well it really appears the team doesn't need him all too much. They are just blowing out teams, I really hope he starts playing some teams which will challenge him.

Indian Hills is always a great JC team. Presently they're ranked 5th in the country, their only loss is to the #2 team. The only other ranked team that they play this year is Southeastern who appear to be in their conference and they play them home and home in Jan/Feb. Iowa Western is in the "also receiving votes" category and they play them twice as well.

Hard to tell from the videos. It looks like they don't have to try in some of those games.
I think he'll play the Larry Wright role and be a scorer off the bench. Based on the little I've seen, I'm not sure how effective he will be on defense in the Big East.

He plays defense from the video I've seen so far. He stays on his man, helps when he needs to, and also has kept his man in front of him on defense. Then again this is all against lesser competition so its hard to judge but so far so good.
I'd like to see him more involved on offense though
