Great thread to discuss over the next year. I have invested a decent amount into him, so im really hoping he not just swims but learns to snorkel (he has the high dive down). Being impartial though, I'm concerned about his killer instinct, or somewhat lack of it seems. I agree with you on the Derozan/Booker concept. I will add though that he needs to improve his handles some to be consistently successful at it. He does have a nice mid range pullup, but needs to find that last burst to get past defenders all the way to the hoop. His first step, at times, doesn't seem very quick. Or he tells the drive with body moves first, giving defenders a clue? Scoots first step seems lighting fast compared to Shae. Shae just jumps over people. improving his handles i think will help with this, as i think he has the athleticism to be quick out of the gate but his handles are preventing it.
Yeah, I really hope we get rid of Jerami, he's the only guy left with the green light to be a ball stopping chucker. I would love the offense to look like what Chauncey preaches and not get bogged down like it has whenever Ant or Jerami were in the game.
Shaedon was brought off the bench for 20 of his 72 games and still averaged 18.5 ppg. With Simons out of the way, look out.
Can’t be consistent without consistent minutes. He substantially upped his scoring last season despite playing less minutes.
If we could get Grant to come off the bench with Holiday, I think he would be okay. He still brings something no one else really brings on this team with his length. Scoot/Holiday/Banton Sharpe/Rupert/Thybulle Camara/Thybulle/Deni Deni/Grant/Murray/Willams Ayton/Clingan//Willams/Walker Not sure where the rest or our 11 lands but i would be down with that to start the season. If Grant wont come off the bench then we need to trade him. We have a bottle neck.
He’s teetering towards the Jordan Poole/Jalen Green tier of guards — flashy with minimal impact on winning. This season is huge for Sharpe.
KingSpeed - I agree with you on that and it is something i have mentioned in the past but i still stand by my post. Since Billups jerks him and Scoot around on minutes for no reason maybe a little more on Sharpe but this is why I said a few months ago IF Billups remained the coach then unless Billups gives Sharpe more time then Sharpe should be at least shopped. I will not lie I still feel that way if Billups cannot give Sharpe the time on the court then he should be traded or he could be wasted .
I mean when you throw Jalen Green out there, I'd be fine with that. Dude was the leading scorer on the team with the second best record in the West. I'd say he did impact winning. I would love it if Shaedon was better and more consistent than Green but I wouldn't be too upset if that's where he's at by the end of this upcoming season.
I actually agree, Sharpes points come so easy and rarely forces shots. That could change next year as he’ll likely be a number one or two option on offense. If I were him I’d live on the mid range game and going to the hoop. His percentage inside like 3’ is 65% or something like that so teams will want to protect that area. He also needs to get even more creative at drawing fouls, getting 3-5 more throws a game is crucial to becoming a 25 point a game scorer
