The Blazers need a head coach that can get the most out of Shaedon Sharpe. Whether that's Billups or someone else.
The crazy thing about Shaedon in those highlights is, with the exception of the one vs last night, none looked like he was even having to try that hard to get that high. Like "ho hum. Look what I can do"
He made it look really easy last night as well......and it was not. When he cocked his arm back it was not for show, he had to in order to avoid the defender. Amazing dunk
I will say, I saw that dunk last night. I'm not usually impressed with most dunks... that was one of the filthiest dunks I'd ever seen. The power of it while also looking effortless was amazing.
We can see Sharpe getting help from Clingan, Walker and Camara to break free on several of his buckets. Complementary teammates. Also a tight pass from Clingan. Was Walker's "shot" actually a post-entry pass? It was very short for a shot, and doesn't look like it was tipped by the defender.
Shaedon was asked after the game about the dunk contest and he said something like he wasn't too interested but if they ever had a contest for dunking on shot blockers he'd be cool with that.
Yeah, he obviously likes that and I bet he'd be into getting a few attempts in a row at getting the better of guys like Gobert.
Heard today on the plane that Dame used to call Shae, ‘THE DON”…….. haven’t looked at the teams social media page today, but that might be what they are pushing. Hope they get in before the Lakers and Doncic.
The question I had tonight after watching Shaedon's dunk for the umpteenth time is: Is Shaedon the most effortless top level high fligher in league history? I think it looks just as easy as it was for MJ and Kobe and I think Shaedon gets higher than both of those guys. Dominique and Vince both looked like an explosion propelled them into the air not as effortless looking as Shae also I'm not sure if they got up as high either. Shaedon's jumping is all time.
Watching Thompson he was very much like Shaedon is. Effortless and just as high flying. Yeah, I missed him. He was a higher riser than Shaedon (fucking crazy that that's even a thing) and his jumping looked just as easy as Shaedon's definitely the best nonchalant leaper I'm aware of who ever played in the league.
