    Sharpe reminds me of Dr. J the way he hangs in the air. Sometimes it seemed Erving would never land his hang time was so ridiculous.

    Ive been saying that all along. I can see Scoot as a perennial All-Star, and the best PG of his era, top 10 kind of guy. I see Rim Shaedy as an MVP caliber talent. So yes, Shae will have a better season and in part due to Scoot setting him up. This season is gonna be bonkers. Especially when we trade Lillard at the deadline to Brooklyn.

    There’s no such thing as hang time. It’s an illusion cuz they jump high.

    Some people complain that Sharpe doesn't have a "first step." Whether that is true or not, Sharpe is one of the highest-degree-of-difficulty finishers in the league.
    Many of of the finishes he had last season and in summer league looked impossible.
    I was watching the Minnesota game from the far end-zone last season, when Sharpe went up in the air on one side of the hoop, disappeared amongst defenders then suddenly reappeared floating in the air with his arms outstretched somehow putting the ball in the hoop.

    Here's the sequence I'm talking about.

    How on earth is this going to turn into a reverse layup?! He's taking a jump-shot, right?!

    The style of play Shae has will compliment Scoot so well. Im absolutely stoked to see these guys on the court at the same time. Let them build as much synergy as they can as quickly as possible.
    Bring on preseason!!!
