The day after the Dallas Mavericks negotiated a draft day trade with the Sacramento Kings to secure the draft rights to guard Jaden Hardy this past June, that’s when Hardy and his camp strategically started putting the wheels in motion to host a basketball camp in North Texas.
That strategy came to fruition Saturday when the rookie from the NBA G League’s Ignite held a free camp for over 100 third-eighth grade boys and girls at the Shelton School in North Dallas.
“The reason I wanted to do this camp is I wanted to give back to the community, and give back to these kids,” Hardy told Mavs.
