Here is video evidence of just how much he has improved. His passing is absolutely stellar in this, I also see an improved handle. Yes, it's still his greatest weakness on offense, but it's clearly to these eyes, getting better. Enjoy!
Everything Shae does looks effortless. Like he's not even working hard. Granted, it's preseason and opposing players generally aren't working that hard either, but those highlights are nice, and his skills and better understanding of what to do and how and when to do it are evident.
The young kid needs experience, not looking over his shoulder when his stubborn Coach is about to pull him from the game so Anfernee & Grant can get more shots.
16.8/4.1/3.7 on .491/.390/.846 This was James Harden’s statline in his 6MOY campaign. It’s hard to imagine Shae being that efficient, but I’m fully convinced he can average 3+ apg off the bench. What’s going to really help is if guys like Camara, Walker, and Murray can shoot the ball.
I know this is… unrealistic… but he seriously looks like Dr J out there. I get it’s pre-season and all but he looks loose and smooth and so aware in those clips.
He's able to find the dead spot in the defense and rise up. One of the vids shows CB coaching on this. Apparently, he's listening. He looked like he wasn't playing hard or smart in SL. Glad to see that change. btw, who thinks he hasn't improved? Have there been posts?
His two handed dunk pretty much from a stand still while he was standing outside the restricted area was really impressive.
Never thought of Harden, but Sharpe's ability to elevate can be used to make difficult passes out of a crowd. Saw some of that last season.
Shae seems to be pretty good at getting hit and maintaining control, including very studiously staying outside the circle when he lands. The Harden comparisons aren’t exact but his game is more well rounded than I expected. Also that midrange fade of his is deadly.
shae can't skip steps. this isn't a race. if he learns how to play the right way puts in the effort and focuses on the handle, he's going to be a star. patience will be the key here—which will be difficult because stardom will seem like it's increased touches and usage away from happening. that's not necessarily the case with a guy like him who is so young and so talented.
