During his junior year, Hardy demonstrated significant athletic talent, averaging 30.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game.

He was recognized as a consensus five-star recruit and a top prospect in the 2021 class.

During his tenure with the Ignite, he averaged 17.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game. His decision to join the G League Ignite bypassed offers from prominent college programs such as Kentucky and UCLA, highlighting his commitment to professional development. He was also selected for the McDonald’s All-American Game, Jordan Brand Classic, and Nike Hoop Summit.
His NBA career began when he was drafted 37th overall in the 2022 NBA draft by the Sacramento Kings, subsequently being traded to the Dallas Mavericks on draft night. Hardy made his Summer League debut with 28 points. Throughout his four seasons with the Mavericks, he demonstrated consistent performance and played a role in the team reaching the 2024 NBA Finals. In 2026, Hardy was traded to the Washington Wizards and later to the Los Angeles Lakers, continuing his career as a professional basketball player. He signed a three-year, $18 million contract extension with the Mavericks before the 2024–25 season.
