    True, except for the swim part.

    Dude you can make your point without snarky bs insults too. I think Murray right now is the better player and it’s not because of talent. I think sharpe has superstar talent in short spurts and said as much. Shake your head all you want but fuck the personal insults. I don’t care how you compare them. You do you..I'm not the topic here.

    There's not one personal insult in my reply to your post and if you think Kris is better than Shaedon... I really don't know what to tell you. That's ridiculous.

    Another uninformed take. Keep on blabbing on and on about the things you "know" without watching anything. When Shaedon is an all star maybe then you'll... never mind you'll never allow yourself to enjoy anything about our team.

    More senselessly negative than @AldoTrapani

    Personally I want all our players to make a leap but there's a big difference between Superstar talent and consistent production in the NBA. From what I've seen so far, Scoot is putting in the work and making the most progress ..I think Scoot can become a star and I think he has the motor and work ethic to follow that through. I really hope Sharpe becomes a two way player and better 3 pt shooter. Murray is a 3pt shot away from being a solid role player. I hope he breaks that slump this off season. All our young guys need to shoot a ton of free throws...we've sucked at the line. I'm really happy with the direction of the team. Stoked..

    Just a troll of a poster. Apparently per posters here he has a bunch of personal stuff going on in his life but I don't see why that justifies him trolling the entire forum along with a mod badge that nobody can set to ignore.

    What do you mean? I was told everything's great. He has all of the athleticism and talent in the world. He just averaged 18 ppg.

    There are no confidence issues or anything like that... same with Scoot.

    Everything is going perfect.

    Sharpe’s scoring went up last season despite fewer minutes. I mean what are we talking about here? Give him the starting SG spot and watch him become the next Tracy McGrady.

    You keep beating this like a drum. I’m a big Sharpe fan but the whole “less minutes” take isn’t that compelling as he did shoot more last year while having a lower percentage from 3. His overall percentage from his second season was abysmal but his percentage from 3 this past season was his worst. He put up more shots in less minutes. A change in efficiency is what you want. Ideally, those numbers would at least go back up to what we saw his rookie season.

    Speaking of swimming, why are they called swim trunks when they're shorts?

    My mother is on her deathbed and keeps lying to the doctor. She has requested me to not visit her in her end days because i tell the doctors the truth. Weighing heavier that shit on me right now, but I'm not trying to take it out on everyone around me…..
