    Yes, with Dame and Nurk and Watford.
    Wonder what they would look like with Grant. We've seen Grant make some nice passes to Sharpe.

    He was also a +28. Should’ve been starting from day 1.

    With Nate McBillups coaching. No, unfortunately it wouldn't be a surprise.

    He was really lost on defense then...the game is just now starting to slow down for him.....good to see but he wasn't ready to play that much first half of the season. Chauncey has addressed this

    There seems to be this fear of suggesting that he has the potential of being a starter on this team. He's 21 years old and capable of 21/9/5 with 2 steals. Is that not a potential starter?

    It was fun to watch Trendon and Shaedon tonight simply because of the joy they played with. They seem to genuinely enjoy playing together.

    Wizards move ahead of Portland for the 6th seed. One ill-timed win will do that

    Sharpe really looked comfortable playing off Dame. More comfortable than Ant?

    Watford is showing a lot of different skills and he's only 22

    he's played a lot of small ball C, not all that much PF with a solid C in the game, liked what I saw at PF

    He just came off a pretty long slump ...good to see him finish at the rim and make 2pt shots tonight...

    He's the type of star that every team wants. A threat on offense always, and if you aren't careful with your passes he'll grab it out of the air.
    And his rebounds, some of them are ones that only he could have grabbed (at least among Trail Blazers.)

    There's zero chance Blazers get anything lower than the 5th pick and sitting at 6th they have a statistically better shot at getting 1-5 or 7th (like last year) then they do the 6th. unleash Sharpe and let the young guys cook, If they win a few it wont matter at this point.

    It's definitely not a good look for Billups that Sharpe has been relegated to the bench most of the season, while the Blazers have been less than mediocre.
    Instead he's been fitting the square peg of Simons into the backcourt for reasons only he knows.

    Shaedon starting at SG next to Lillard worked well.

    how nice is it to have an uber athletic 6'6" SG as opposed to more midget ISO ball?

    Love Sharpes game but again it was one game against one of the worst defenses in the league. Can’t wait to see how good he becomes but little bit of over reaction with him being starter. No knock on Sharpe he’s going to very very good but he wasn’t ready and would have been unfair to expect a kid who hadn’t played in year to come in and start against the best players in the world. Plus not like Simons is bad he’s-one of the best 3pt shooters in the NBA
