Tim Hardaway Jr. has NBA bloodlines and after three seasons at Michigan, the 6-foot-5 shooting guard has decided to enter his name into the 2013 NBA Draft. Hardaway Jr. and the Wolverines are coming off their best season in nearly 20 years, making a run to the National Championship game this past April. Following another solid season, Hardaway Jr.’s decision to enter the name and forgo his final season of collegiate eligibility shouldn’t really come as much of a surprise.
Hardaway Jr. proved the ability to consistently score the basketball in each of his three years at Michigan. He has good size and great athleticism for the shooting guard position and he will need to continue to taking advantage of his offensive skill set if he hopes to have a lengthy NBA career. Hardaway Jr. is a hard worker and he loves to compete, two added characteristics that could make him a valuable commodity at the professional level.
