    Yep. He's a strong guard. He will play lockdown defense on you and shoot a three in your face on the other end of the floor over and over. Rather have him than Simons.

    I believe Breen just said that Anthony Edwards was 3 years old when LeBron played in his FIRST playoff game……WOW! Let that sink in.

    shaedon needs to learn how to playmake like edwards. sharpe's gotten loads better from where he was but there are levels to this.

    ehh "lockdown" defense is a stretch. he's been largely terrible on that end in his careeroutside of like one year here.

    Edwards was given the green light year one. So his career arc is a bit more accelerated than Shaedon. But I believe Sharpe will be an All NBA player

    I’m not sure that Shaedon has the dog in him that Edwards has.

    But we traded him for Powell. And I'd rather have Powell than GT.

    I see a trend. Blazers trade a player. Player plays better. We might as well cheer for the Clippers as half their team are former Blazers

    I feel like Powell was in a tough situation. I would have liked to see him get a chance to play the 2 here next to Dame. Powell at the 3 was a big ask.

    Trent had a heck of a game, though.

    They weren't going to beat OKC anyway.

    He blew hot and cold. He had that one stretch where he looked like The Future and then the next season his defense just disappeared. Why do you think Toronto unloaded him? You can't rely on him.

    If you want to feel better, imagine how Phoenix feels about Toumani.

    both of them have clumsy handlles. If sharpe can improve his handles, and defense, sky is the limit. He's still very young

    agreed.....Trent was a lot better at looking intense on defense than being effective on defense
