    So Shaedon had to wait till game 5 to get his 1st start and my 2k character took 10 games to start. I always get into the HOF so I’m pretty confident he’ll become a HOFer.

    Yes he would've. And yes he is. We have enough talent to win without Dame. I think Billups will have them ready. It was hard to recover from Dame's injury in the middle of the Miami game but with preparation, we can win these games against Memphis and Phoenix. Boy, 8-1 would be great. And 3-0 against the Suns. LET'S GET IT.

    Speaking as someone who simply created this account to criticize the "Trade Sharpe for OG" crowd, Sharpe's trajectory is Donovan Mitchell or Vince Carter at this point.

    But his IQ and commitment to defense are better than Vince Carter, especially considering his age. Possibly a stronger work ethic, as well.

    Should Sharpe tighten his handles within 1-2 years, his ceiling can be Dwayne Wade/Kobe Bryant. Not an easy ceiling to reach but likely more achievable than many of these other "Next Kobe" type prospects.

    The kid has all the tools.

    I HATE the Kobe comparison because Kobe openly had a killer’s mentality. Not saying Shaedon doesn’t have it, but if he does, it’s as a silent assassin, rather than as someone who will tell you they’re going to kill you, how they’re going to do it, and then completes the mission (which was Kobe).

    You knew from Day One cuz Kobe had “it” and told you he was going to be great and you had no way of not believing him.

    He’s got all the physical tools that it’ll just come down to mentality. He has a Booker/BRoy/Beal smoothness to his game but he can attack the basket like Vince Carter—this is everything he’s shown flashes of in just 6 games. Outside of his needing to improve his handle, Chauncey and the rest of the team just needs to encourage him to play hard on the defensive side of the ball.

    If he did all of those things well, he’s essentially a Kobe/MJ-esque player. Carter had all the physical tools to become Kobe, he just didn’t.

    I’d settle for a prime, pre-injuries/breakdown of T-Mac.

    I mean, I don’t want to be greedy here.

    One thing I’ve noticed about Sharpe is that it seems like he almost prefers to fade on his shots.

    Not saying it’s good or bad. Kinda unique.
