The "Sharpe just did some crazy shit!" thread

Assuming we want to keep our first round draft pick, the arguments against starting Sharpe are some of the reasons why we should start Sharpe.

 

I don't think anybody is disputing that. Rather, guessing what Chauncey might do

 

I don’t think adding Sharpe to the starting lineup changes anything on our record. With Sharpe starting, the bench is going to look dismal.

 

What is

There are no good reasons for not starting Sharpe, just bad ones.

 

Sharpe starting at the 2 (or even not) should get the minutes needed to accelerate his rookie evaluation. Ant’s absence, GP gone, Hart gone … it’s open.
This is a good thing.
This summer’s go-for-it-move needs that data on how good, how fast he’ll be … especially if Ant is in the trade.

 

Sharpe isn't a SF, he's a 2. SFs have to body up against the big boys. I am completely against the idea that Portland's best starting lineup includes Dame, Ant & SS as its too small.

If/when Shaedon proves ready for a starting role and those sorts of minutes, move Ant to the bench and make him the leader of the 2nd wave.

I would be thrilled to finish out the season with

Lillard, Sharpe, Thybulle, Grant, Nurk

Wavers?, Little, Reddish, Winslow/Watford, Eubanks

That backup PG is going to be a tough one until Simons returns.

 

Justise can backup PG

 

I thought we were talking about this season right now while Ant is out. My b.

 

too bad Walker can't shoot the three-ball well because other than that he's been better than Little. He probably can't play SF either...?

 

He'll get it going, he shot 40% from three in college.

 

as a Jew I usually get Kyle. First time anyone has compared me to Cartman

 

He probably will but there are other players who have shot well in college and it didn't translate to the pros.

 

If I remember, he shot it well in summer league too.

 

No argument there, but knowing his work ethic and that he will eventually get more minutes I think he will improve. There have been players that have come into the league that have improved with the three also. Little is one.

 

to be fair, Walker has only shot 23 three's. That's way too small a sample size to reach any conclusions. He's shooting .217. Gary Trent jr. shot .238 as a rookie on 21 attempts and he ended up a good shooter from deep

 

Man if that kid can shoot 40% from three he's gonna be an absolute steal.

 

Using that logic, if I could shoot 40% in the NBA, I would really be a steal, cuz I'm willing to play for $100 a game!
