Hardaway closed with three points (1-5 FG, 0-4 3PT, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 22 minutes during Friday's preseason victory.
Hardaway replaced Malik Beasley in the starting lineup but offered very little in terms of tangible production. Brought over to Detroit to provide the team with floor spacing, Hardaway could be a viable streaming candidate, in theory. However, his offensive upside is very limited and in recent times, he has been woeful from the field. Despite starting Friday, Hardaway will likely begin the season on the bench, making him a non-factor outside of very deep formats.
