After nearly six seasons with the Mavericks, Hardaway was traded to Detroit in July 2024. He was a mainstay in the starting five but saw a dip in production with the Pistons, averaging 11.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 28.0 minutes per game in 77 regular-season appearances. He also shot 36.8 percent from three-point range. Following his lone season in Detroit, the 33-year-old swingman signed a one-year deal with the Nuggets and will provide the club with wing depth behind Christian Braun and Cameron Johnson. Hardaway doesn't provide much fantasy value outside of his three-point shooting, and he'll have a defined role as a sharpshooter off the bench. Moreover, the Michigan product will have to compete for minutes off the bench with Peyton Watson, Julian Strawther, Bruce Brown and Jalen Pickett. Hardaway could garner some interest in the later rounds of fantasy drafts in deeper leagues, but he doesn't have much upside on a Nuggets team where he'll stick to providing a spark off the bench through his shooting from beyond the arc. Unless he can improve his efficiency from downtown significantly, the veteran swingman's ceiling is limited on a Nuggets team looking to bounce back from a Western Conference Semifinals loss.
