    The 5 guys ahead of Sharpe in scoring are also all averaging almost double Sharpe’s minutes per game.

    What impresses me most about Sharpe is the balance to his game. He plays solid defense. Great looking outside shot. Good midrange jumper. And he attacks the rim with tremendous athleticism.

    Although it’s still a very short sample size, this is turning out to be a productive group of rookies.

    What stands out to me is 82 minutes
    Everyone above him has played 40+ more minutes than him. Almost an entire game difference. Higher 3p % than those ranked above him.

    Needs to get his assists and steals up if he wants any shot at beating Banchero for ROY. Still think the minutes aren’t there for him to win it, but if he plays well in these games without Dame then who knows, could see more minutes.

    Just want to say that I'm totally ecstatic with Sharpe as our pick, but that Jeremy Sochan is looking very nice for San Antonio. He's fitting right in with their team ethos and doing a bit of everything. He's like a younger, healthier Winslow.

    Kyrie should be thrown out of the league.

    I believe I said he wouldn’t be ready to make an impact for a few years.

    OT: This Liverpool Vs Leeds game on 758 has been solid so far.

    Also, Thorns playing for NWSL Championship today

    I suspect he will be in the league for a long time. I just don’t think he will be a star.

    I AM SUDDENLY REALLY ENJOYING THAT GAME ALSO

    Although, hope Meslier's okay.

    Also: downside - Jesse Marsch will probably keep his job

    BTW, did anyone catch the boxscore for the recent TWolves win over the Fakers? Gobert and Towns both had huge games. Where was AD? DNP-CD.

    Next to Oden, he may be the most over-rated big man of the current generation. What a wuss!

    Why do injuries make someone an overrated big? Oden was injury riddled, he was going to be as good as advertised if not for the injuries.

    To be fair about starting it only happened because dame was out. So they can claim very small victory lmao.

    Some good games on today!
    Golden State and Charlotte going to overtime after Dennis Smith Jr. drives the lane and ties the game.
    Curry missed a contested 3 at the end of regulation.

    DSJ came up just short of a triple-double. Charlotte beat GSW for the fourth straight year at home and did it without LaMelo or Terry Rozier. PJ Washington scored 31.
