    I don’t think his rebounding will be a huge issue. If anything, I expect it to balance out because Hart and Little get more boards than the average guy at their position.

    We didn't see the rebounding Hart as much as the scoring Hart.
    He certainly can rebound.

    I am fine debating this as well. I think it is a good topic. Is Grant a poor rebounder because of his lack of bulk or because he lacks the quickness to get to the missed shot from the perimeter? With all the 3pt shots taken these days (and lots of long rebounds), it seems like guards can rack up rebounds just as easily. They are quicker to the ball and they often do a better job of reacting. Hell CJ averaged over 6 boards in his last playoff series against the Suns. I just don't think Grant's lack of bulk is the main reason he is a poor rebounder for his position.

    So I have been watching The Last Dance and this really cracked me up...

    Present day: "omg.... Dame unfollowed Shaedon... what does it mean? Does Dame hate Shaedon? Did Shaedon do something to piss him off? Are we trading Dame? Are we trading Shaedon? WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?!?!?!?!?"

    MJ and Pip at the 1992 Olympics: "Fuck this dude Tony Kukoc.... let's show him who runs the Bulls."

    So he was definitely playing organized basketball for a while before ninth grade. As his dad said, "... basketball was something he did that he was talented in but football was what he loved."

    I think Shaedon should go by Sleepy Sharpe because his laid back deamenor can come off as sleepy but it's ironic because his game is going to wake a lot of people up. Also he kinda got slept on by the first 6 teams in the draft.

    I definitely think his play is going to resemble Roy in terms of never being rushed and playing at his own pace. Only time will tell but I definitely get that vibe from his play so far.

    Going to be exciting to watch him at summer league. Can't remember a top pick with so little prior game film that will have a ton of national attention.

    Hello,

    Shall we start a bidding war on how much someone will pay me to get an autographed basketball from Sharpe when I am down there?
    I have no issues standing in line with a bunch of 6-9 year olds even though I'm almost ten times their ages!

    I bought a bunch of Greg Oden stuff so I will wait to see how he looks in summer league before bidding on anything.
