Nyah Hardy brings bench scoring, playmaking, and defensive disruption to Eastern Illinois
Hardy is a useful guard because she can create offense in multiple ways: in the 2025-26 season, she played in 28 games off the bench for Eastern Illinois, averaging 4.4 points and 1.5 rebounds, while hitting 22 threes and posting a season-high 16 points at Michigan State.[3] She also flashes secondary-creator value with a season-high three assists and a rare all-around ceiling, including a triple-double earlier in her career.[3][7] Her fit is best for teams that value energy, shot-making, and disruptive effort on both ends over pure volume scoring.[3]
