    Most exciting player since Clyde Drexler
    This rookie highlights video would make a good career highlights for others
    Remember he didn't even play in college

    Don't ever trade him and please build a functional team around him (not like Minnesota with Edwards)

    I agree that Sharpe is the future.

    I think you're forgetting how exciting Dame was/is.

    He hates anything that doesn't match perfection so he'll never be happy.

    Could Cam Whitmore be his Jerome Kersey?

    He's the Best in game dunker since Clyde. He's got a lonnnng way to go before he's brought the level of excitement Dame has provided over the years as the game's best closer.

    That picture of Sharpe in midair is Priceless. You couldn't ask him to stand still to take a better picture. I agree totally , with not trading him in any deal , as much i am , with not drafting Scoot for any reason. Trading Sharpe, or drafting Scoot would make zero sense to me.

    drafting scoot if we traded down to 8 and he were available would make sense (not that it will happen but poking holes in your absolute was fun for the ten seconds it took to type).

    Boy getting "the future" back sure has boosted the team, hasn't it?

    I'm not sure this team has a single player I'd want in a playoff rotation.

    I guess Grant is probably the closest, but not sure youd want him starting. He might be best as a backup. Everybody else has major faults with their game for a team trying to win.

    Camara probably has the best chance of being that type of role player eventually.

    Just a pathetic roster up and down from the starters to the bench with a shocking lack of talent.

    Amazing that this group started the off-season in the luxury tax.

    for Camara, "eventually' needs to come sooner rather than later. He's already 24.5 years old

    otherwise, I agree...if this roster is the best this front office can do, heads need to roll

    I think "this dude" and the other young player you like to draw baseless conclusions about are in a really weird situation. You see Ant and Jerami jack up so much one on five shit they make McCollum look like a pass first point guard. So Scoot and Shae are just having to get in where they fit in and when you play with ball hogs that have a lot of years in the league and who the franchise signed to big contracts, it's pretty hard to find where you fit in.

    But by all means keep making baseless negative shitty claims... it's what you're good at.

    Shae flashed amazing potential his rookie season, got thrown into the fire his second season, got hurt and now it’s been almost 10 months between games. Give him some time to shake the rust off.
