    I'm comparing Shaedon Sharpe as we see him now at 19 years old to Brandon Roy highlights.
    Don't have enough highlights of Sharpe yet for Youtube apparently (I can only find single game highlights) so here's one of Brandon Roy and a couple of Sharpe.
    What I see is that at 19 Sharpe looks bigger/more muscular. Certainly more athletic. Both are smooth when moving with the ball.

    Sharpe looks like he will be (or already is) a fantastic rebounder. Maybe not the passer that Roy and Drexler were. But who wants him to pass with the moves he has.
    So maybe Sharpe is just as good or better playing small forward as shooting guard? I don't what position is best for him , he just needs to be playing and playing a lot.
    He looks more like Roy than Drexler to me in the way he (ironically) glides around. Or maybe he IS more like Clyde in the way he covers ground so fast so easily?







    Let's add a Clyde video just because:

    You are comparing him to one of my all time favorite Blazers so be careful...lol. Seriously though, the thought crossed my mind watching him last night. Not the exact same style, but the 'it' factor Roy had SS has. I like it. This is the most exciting rookie the Blazers have had since Dame. I am pumped for him.

    I think Roy is one of most-everyone's favorite Trail Blazers.

    They don't have the same body, but I see a "Vince Carter" with Shaedon.
    BRoy....Top 5 in my book.

    Can you imagine being a 19 year old kid who sat out a year then steps onto the court with a guy in the top 75 all-time and still has the guts to take his own shot when open? That seems like a no-duh, but not sure I could have done that at 19. I was playing CC basketball at 19 and still thought twice when shooting...lol. Joe did well on this one.

    I commented to a friend two weeks ago I thought his footwork reminded me of Roy's.

    The more I watch, the more I see a smaller Kawhi Leonard (the younger version).

    What i see is Paul George movement laterally with a Black Mambaesque explosiveness to the hoop.

    I'm hoping the kid is a young Pistons era Grant Hill before Grant got hurt.

    I'm excited to see Sharpe getting more playing time the next week/two weeks while Dame heals. I'd love to see Sharpe start at the two next to Ant but I feel Billups will move Hart to the two and start either Nas/Winslow at the three.

    Sharpe is a SF and should start there with Hart at the 2.

    Care to elaborate? Again, I haven’t heard a story showing that Roy is a sellout?
