Hardy is a strong bodied four man that brings physicality to the table for East Peoria.  The 2028 forward is light on his feet for his size which allows him to work well as a roller to the hoop.  Also can put it on the deck from the high-post area and even hit a three ball as he notched 8 points (3-4 FG).

Strong frame that can play truly positionless basketball. For size has quick lateral movement defensively with a solid built low stance. Stays grounded containing dribble penetration while maintaining discipline and awareness. Can guard smaller guards or bigger posts. Offensively broke guys down to create open shots. Ran the floor consistently delivering a pitch ahead fast break assist. Overall brings versatility to fill needed roles.

Broad and strong frame that uses size and strength effectively. Fills the 4 spot nicely. Can guard taller or lengthier posts. Came away with multiple tips and a block in the paint during team’s 1st game of the day. Possesses skilled hands. Spotted up for multiple catch and shoot 3’s. Converted on a steal and solo breakaway lay in. Team’s leading scorer in 2nd game of the day with 23. Will be good to watch out for over next 3 years.
