The craziest shit Shaedon did this season was the time or two that he was looking to dunk but went around the shot blockers hand sideways, instead of the traditional underhand scoop and had so much hang time that he finished with an easy lay in on the opposite side of the hoop. This kid is so special at scoring the ball, he's unselfish, his footwork on both ends is amazing and he seems really down to earth except when he launches himself into orbit.
With no 3 point line. Petrie was the best distance shooter in the league. The records he would have had with the 3 point shot.
He still seems shy, or soft spoken, or whatever, but it seems like night and day from when we drafted him. Comfort level improving on the floor AND off!
I haven’t been able to watch this season so these videos are all I’ve seen… I really really hope we get to keep him on for a long time!
With the athleticism, skills, and contract of Simons, he’s the most obvious in trade talks for the Blazers. And Simons has value. If the Blazers didn’t have Dame, I’d be happy with Ant. Sharpe shouldn’t be in those trade conversations. Period. While Matisse may need to help out starting at the 2 to begin the season, IMHO, Sharpe claims it soon enough. Brandon Roy, “the Natural,” and his 4 years at UW was a flat out stud coming in. Shaedon needs all kinds of work and reps, but he’s got what Roy had. He plays the game easy. I have no worries on Sharpe being traded.
Sharpe is Cronin's first big hit. He is not going out unless something crazy like Embiid forcing a trade happens.
So, Sharpe is to Cronin as CJ was to Olshey? Does that mean we have an inevitable overvaluing to look forward to?
Only if Sharpe is actually going to be a good but not great player and Cronin treats him as such. I would argue that at this point, we have seen enough to not just flip him for good but not great players.
