    I hope people can see that it's not Nurkic that slows the ball down, either half court or full court.

    Agreed. I haven't heard many blame Nurk for the lack of transition points.

    Sharpe's jumper looks pretty leaving his hand. Different form, but Webster also had a form that looked so much better than his percentage.

    Notice that Sharpe was looking around for teammates while dribbling into place to make a long 2-pointer. That is very different from Simons.

    Sharpe's best game? Looking pretty good.

    The sad fact is that our own coach is going to destroy the Dame-Sharpe backcourt as soon as he can.

    He seems a bit relaxed at times on defense.

    The blazers are not passing the ball as much as they did in the first.

    It wasn't that long ago, Simons was thought of as the fast break, slam dunk champ, run and gun future while CJ was being blamed for the lack of tempo.

    Tough one...Do you develop Sharpe while diminishing the trade value of Simons?

    Simons being out also allows Watford to get the ball in the backcourt and bring it up fast, putting pressure on the defense, with his ability to pass and score in-close.

    NBA knows what Simons is and can do, start Sharpe at SG rest of season

    its so good and promising to see shaedon sharpe being aggressive

    maybe he turns out to be just a chucker (but i believe he has an all-star potential), but at this point of his career, you never want to see a promising rookie being passive

    I think rebounding would be a problem. But maybe not, if Nurk is playing and Eubanks is replaced by a better rebounder.

    I am thinking we move Simons for a C that defends and rebounds

    Sharpe should’ve been starting at the 2 from day 1.

    This is the one time I think Billups can play a significant role in making sure the proper outcome is obtained.
