    I'm expecting him to do well in summer league because the ratball style should feel just like high school.

    Can I just say that I'm extremely disappointed in Travis Demers...

    I was listening this afternoon and he said he hadn't watched a single highlight of Shaedon Sharpe. How the hell are you a member of the media and you don't even take the time to watch a 15-20 minute video about a guy who was rumored to be your teams pick? Just lazy man.

    He works for the team so he prefers not to have an opinion on anything related to the team

    He should at least have a cursory understanding of the top 10-15 prospects. I mean.... come on.

    Beal plays point and guards the smallest guy on the opponent a lot.

    I want them to have the most complimentary & versatile roster as possible. Didn't umpteen years of featuring an undersized 2 guard teach us anything about trying to get by with undersized wings? Sharpe is a normal sized 2, why do you want him to be an small 3? Just so we can pretend we've a complete lineup? So sorry, no.

    I'm thrilled it seems they've invested in the future on what the braintrust thinks is the guy with the highest ceiling rather then trading for established meh. Hopefully they stay the course.

    I know. I used to listen to his afternoon show and had to stop because of how much he fluffs up everything Blazers

    That's pretty standard.... I just can't stand lazy journalism. Dude was basically proud before the draft that he hadn't seen a single thing on Sharpe.

    Dude was 18 years old a few weeks ago. I wouldn't sweat how his defense fits with a 32 year old Damian Lillard.

    Don't worry, you soon won't be able to remember these things. I think its because I'm getting younger.

    You're right, 33 year old Damian Lillard may not be playing for the Blazers.

    You have issues with Winslow's defense at the 3?

    Sharpe was 9 years old when Dame was drafted.

    He was 5 years old when Dame was playing at Weber State.

    Heres to hoping he shows enough in his first season to influence important decisions this franchise needs to make in the future.

    Thank goodness he's had a year of training, coaching, and practicing at Kentucky since those videos were shot.

    Yeah I think people are really undervaluing the impact of just being with an elite college program like Kentucky for weight training and coaching during practices. A lot of times players learn more from the practices than the games.
