    Not overwhelming enough. Clearly you need to replace the basketball with the moon. Shaedon Sharpe can dunk celestial bodies!!

    Too much? :lol:

    So before the season started there was 6 votes for bench player and now there are 5. No harm in someone changing their opinion when data causes them to. I am actually more impressed by those keeping their vote the same. But I can't help but wonder who these people are. Only the OP can look it up. But I would ask the original poster, are these regulars who don't mind the reticule of being wrong and are leave it? Or are they people we don't normal see so that is why their vote stands (because they haven't been back)?

    I'm guessing they don't care about their women's handbag.

    Probably right because they live in their mom's basement. They don't have a woman to need to worry about her handbag. And yes, I will leave the typo up for prosperity.

    That's a money quote right there. You can imagine someone like Luka Doncic getting a quote like that--he's been honing his skills against grown men for years despite his age. But for someone like Sharpe? That's pretty amazing.

    He reminds me a lot of a young Kawhi Leonard (who was drafted at #15). He doesn't have his length or freakish hands. But he's got that same kind of quiet calm. He came in as a 20 year old and started half of the games for the Spurs (a 50 win team that made it to the Finals), and all the playoff games. Pretty damned good for a rook. I don't think anybody saw that coming at the beginning of the season.

    Kawhi made it on the court because he had one bankable skill. You didn't know what kind of scoring you were getting, what kind of three point shooting. His percentages were good, but he was only asked to score 8 ppg. But he'd bring defense every night.

    Sharpe is way ahead of him in terms of scoring, and behind him in defense. But that scoring is going to make it really hard for the coach not to continue starting him.

    Luckily, our team is pretty versatile. Whenever any of Dame, Ant or Hart go down with an injury (or minutes restriction), Sharpe is first man in. He may start half the games (just like Kawhi did) without any roster changes.

    Sharpe is a MUCH better shooter than Vince when he first came into the league.

    And a much more willing defender as well. It helps that Sharpe wasn’t drafted to be the guy right away though.
