    Jordan is the prototypical SG. He wouldn't be a SF today. He was about the same height/length as Sharpe... also the same reported vertical.

    In today's positionless 3pnt dominated game, there is little difference offensively between the 2 and 3. Defensively, I'd rather SS be the 2nd smallest guy in the Blazers 5 most of the time. Can he size wise potentially/eventually swing to guard other spots effectively? I sure hope so.

    Glad he hasn't been moved yet. I'm on the long term rebuild plan and if they keep him management is valuing that position.

    Taking a chance on him and I’m good with that.
    Sure would love to look back in a year and listen to people say how 6 teams missed a great player.

    Jordan would be a SF today. He might even be a PF, or with bench units play as Gianni's does at center. Spread the court with four 3pt shooters and Jordan.

    Jordan couldnt shoot the 3 good enough to play as a guard today. Which tells us more about how stupid this 3point era often is than a knock on Jordan.

    Damn just saw that video of the blazers war room. Like I always tell ya Jody loves this shit. She’s at every single game even when we were tanking. That meant something to me. There’s owners who don’t even know what’s going on with their teams.

    I can't help but notice how thick Sharpe's thighs are already. That's really going to help with not getting bodied in the NBA.

    the way he moves his arm to the right on his follow through reminds me exactly of brandon roy's shot

    Sharpe seems like he’ll be fine playing the 3 with his length

    He'll be fine, but ideally you want bigger wings if your starting 1/2 is Dame/Ant. What's our ceiling defensively?

    LOL!!!

    What position would Klay Thompson play today? How about Jaylen Brown? Seems to me the two SGs who made the finals both measured bigger at their combines then reportedly 6'4 MJ was

    Good grief, I hope you were joking and I'm fishhooked as this is flailing in the deepend pathetic
