2018 Washington Basketball recruiting class fills team needs

Elijah Hardy

First of all, the team needs to bolster the point guard role. It all starts with him, and David Crisp has the instincts of a shooter, not a distributor. That is no detraction on Crisp. He had to make that difficult transition on the fly, and did a pretty good job as a result. But the team must improve on the assists to compete at the next level going forward.   So now the team is looking down the road to 6-foot-2 point guard Elijah Hardy. Hardy is a true point guard, and he will bring quality minutes to the Washington Huskies next year.

Hardy brings great vision. While he has a solid pop and shoot, his best features are his court vision and the ability to toss the ball to the open shooter effortlessly. Right now, the Huskies are a team which has good ball movement. But they need that vision, that IQ guy who is the nexus of the offense. Hardy can be that guy on this team.
