    This kid should get numbers tonight against this team. He’ll want to play well against Green.

    Sharpe with 17 points on 7/10 shooting last night. For the season he's shooting 44% on threes and 51% overall while making some great defensive plays.

    Sharpe only has one game this season he failed to score double figures when getting over 16 minutes (Memphis). Both himself and Dame have scored double figures in 7/11 Blazer games. Grant and Simons are the only Blazers with more double figure games than Sharpe, each with two more.

    When will Sharpe's play force Billups to make the move of putting him in the starting lineup?

    He’s the most naturally gifted player I’ve ever seen in a Blazers uniform.

    The bank shot he made after hanging in the air, was amazing to me. He made it look so easy, and I guess it was....for him.

    I don't think it will be this season. I think Hart fills a completely different role.

    Even though some might think I'm saying he will be Jordan, that shot was 100% Jordanesque.

    If you were to slow it down (most of the iconic Jordan shots had the benefit of slo-mo to emphasize the gaudiness of it) and show that shot in slow motion, it's even prettier.

    I think that's one other thing about Sharpe that sets him apart from other prospects we've had over the past few decades. There's an aesthetic quality to his performances and highlights that cannot be ignored. Like watching Griffey swing a bat--it was just a thing of beauty to behold, and anyone could see it.

    To me, it's like the difference (visually speaking) of Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins.

    Dominique is a lot like Zion (power more than grace). Jordan had power AND grace.

    I'm loathe to jump into the Jordan comparisons--y'know, because he's the GOAT--but I keep thinking Dr J (which I realize is only like a tenth of a step down).

    I know Sharpe’s not as tall. But I watched a whole lot of Dominique Wilkins as a kid thanks to TBS and Sharpe reminds me of how he used to spring to the hoop in force. They both almost preferred to shoot off the catch.

    Yeah, it is hard to match the competitive makeup of Jordan and Kobe. That is what separated them. They were crazy athletic but beyond that, they never stopped working on their game. After googling both their true heights, SS is the same size. (His wing span is 1 " longer than those two) He will need to put on about 10 lbs over time IMO
