    Leading into last night's game Sharpe since the allstar break was shooting 17% from deep according to the radio analytics guy....you earn your shots on this team and Sharpe didn't earn more deep shots...glad to see him hit a couple but he's not a light's out shooter who needs touches....he's a work in progress who loses his guy on defense often ...give him a couple years and he'll get there.

    Shae needs to shoot A LOT of three point shots this summer. There is no visible reason why he can't become a very good shooter.

    I'm not worried about Sharpe. He already has way more confidence than Simons had for... what.... three years?

    Sharpe viciously attacks the rim. Simons was a total wall flower. Dude never attacked the rim, despite having great hops.

    Unfortunately neither Sharpe nor Simons have the right kind of personality to lead a team. They're both the quiet type, which is fine..... but the quiet type can also turn out like Aldridge or Kawhi.

    This is just false. According to ESPN's game logs Shae has made 5 of the 24 threes he's taken in the seven games since the all star break... he didn't take any fucking threes last night. Yeah 20.8 percent shooting is down from his season average of 33.9% but there's no reason to exaggerate it.

    I was quoting the radio guys....don't shoot the messenger but Jez usually knows what he's talking about. Your poll could be inaccurate as well..it's a poll. I'm sure the radio guy was reading off one as well. at any rate, he's not shot well from deep which is my point. ESPN is not flawless as probably our analytics guys aren't either. 20.8 or 17%....not a big gap ..shitty percentage. You could be right but I don't know why Jez would exaggerate that stat. It's not worth digging into at this point. The kid isn't a great 3 pt shooter

    Well, I have video and pictures that prove this is not correct.

    The kid is a kid and the three games previous to the all star break he went 8 for 14 from three. He definitely can be a great three point shooter and likely will. Look at the mechanics of his shot.
