    portland is so many years of bad that it doesnt have enough room in its ads for its collection of 'not quite Him yet' players.

    Contract negotiations. You don't lose your position ahead of them.

    correct you’re already seeing it start. This forum loves to do what it does best, find a scapegoat to complain about

    Just think if the guy gets injured again. He was really young getting here. I'm looking for him to continue to mature and show incremental improvements in some ways that might be less noticeable in the box score. I'd like to see him manage the game on the court better and strive to improve defensively. Would really like to see him play with an edge forcing his will a bit more on the court.

    Anyone else a bit underwhelmed looking at this list after, say, the top 5?
    I think Sharpe has a good chance of being a top 10 SG after this year. The bar seems low.

    Seriously what an excellent troll for us Blazers fans. Yeah, we ranked your young SG but we put him right behind the two starting SGs you all wanted gone previously. I doubt it was done on purpose but if it was, that was expertly executed.

    Just realized the thread title asked "Is It sink or swim time"

    It most certainly IS sink or swim time.

    Not sure how anyone can say he hasn’t shown star flashes. I’ve always said when I watch a players development I want to star flashes meaning games where I see him do things that show he can be a star. Over tha last two years I’ve seen that I really felt like only thing holding him back was respect for the older vets. When they weren’t in the lineup he excelled. The other thing that stood out was a little bit of fire when he got benched for not playing defense.

    At very least I think he’s borderline all star and upside of Anthony Edwards.
