Dunno. It is in the official record that he was on the track team and high jumped 6'6". That photo has been in circulation since I was a kid.
Amazingly, that means he was 6 years old when the photo was taken! Truly, a man among boys. Or maybe he had some variation of the Greg Oden premature aging condition?
Vecna started waaaaaay before we were told by Netflix and the Duffer Brothers. What else are the hiding from the world?
No... the top of the square is 18" above the rim, so 11.5' from the floor. Wilt's 7'1" + 48" would put the top of his head at 11'1", 5" below the top of the square. It would, however, mean he was jumping high enough to have his entire head above the rim, which would be pretty amazing to see.
This thread kinda went sideways away from Shaedon but.....I have a thought. Shaedon has skills, we've heard it and saw that in the Israeli game. However, what I think he is lacking is Swagger. Skills without swagger don't mean a lot. What is Swagger? I'd call it confidence, brash self-confidence that you can do whatever you darn well please. Swagger, assertiveness, confidence, call it what you want but that is what, to me, Shaedon seems to lack.
Kawhi has always been laid-back and socially awkward. Not saying Shaedon will be Leonard but not having the swagger right away isn't a death keel either.
What to do with Shaedon is the same as every good rookie. Give them stuff to work on in practice and workouts and give them the minutes that they earn. Hopefully he excells and earns a big role right away, but it's not a red flag if he doesn't. Lots of all time great players took a while. STOMP
mmm, i dont think he passes on college if he doesn't have serious confidence. Seems he has more of a Dame swagger than an MJ swagger is all.
He doesn't need to become a star overnight. We just need to be able to look at him at the end of the season and see that he making clear progress.
he did. Pretty sure there wasn't a combine in MJ's day let alone Wilt's and of course Sharpe didn't participate in the athletic testing portion of the 2022 combine. STOMP
The simple answer to the thread's question of what to do with Sharpe? Develop him. I'm staying in the trade for OG camp and sending away Hart, Nas, and Keon. That price may be steep, but get the best player in the deal since Toronto could use help at the guards. Lillard, Simons, OG, Grant, Nurkic Simons backs up Lillard. GP2 backs up Simons at 2. Sharpe and Winslow back OG ... OG who backs Grant at 4 along with Watford, Walker, etc. There are good mix and match line-ups with positional versatility AND better size. This is what I want for Xmas.
