Game Thread 2022-23 PRESEASON GAME #3 - BLAZERS VS MACCABI RAANANA - OCTOBER 6, 2022 - THURSDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT)

[wizenheimer]

didn't watch the game. Obviously, Sharpe got people excited. I take it he looked smooth, athletic and in control?

also, were Keon's 11 assists just one of those weird circumstances or was he actually running some offense?

 

[julius]

Hopefully he (SS) can do something similar to this against NBA level talent. Thats the next step.

In due time.

Watford, Keon, Shaedon, and Jabari. I'm actually really pumped about our future.

And Ant is still very young.

 

[blazerfan11]

I would like to see Keon and Shaedon starting in the backcourt next game. They can throw lobs to each other among other things.

This was a great game for young player evaluation. Sarr passed the test in my view tonight

We'll see what Billups does. He looked good when he had fewer choices last season.

We need someone off the bench big enough to prevent offensive rebounds. Maybe he's the guy.

You know there is star potential when a young player makes it look easy. Granted it was not the best competition, but Sharpe showed why there was hype. Of course, he has a ways to go, but damn he looks to have the whole package

His 11 assists weren't circumstantial or random. That dude should be third on the depth chart behind Dame and Ant... not Brandon Williams.

Best SG we’ve had since Drexler. He should start. Trade Simons as soon as we can.

Yeah me too. He was the type of backup center I was looking for on the cheap. Long and a fairly quick jumper for his size.
He is only going to get better too.

It's better competition than SL would have been. The guys he schooled tonight were solid Euro pros and that's why they got this game.

 

[DDolla]

Sarr looks like the Vanilla Gorilla out there

[illmatic99]

the complete package

 

[DDolla]

the complete package

Look at that silky smooth jumper

 

[tlongII]

That kid is super talented.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Yeah a lot of fans from about 6 other NBA cities are going to look at those highlights and start to wonder.......

 

[BankTeller]

Shame I didn’t even know the game was on. Only got to watch from the end of Q3 till Sharpe was subbed out.

After a game like this, there’s no possibly way you DON’T reward Sharpe by starting him in the next game. Rest the starters another night, let Sharpe start against a team that didn’t draft him. I imaging he will be matched up on Murray at times, I want to see how they play against each other.

Then start the projected regular season rotation against the warriors.

He can go from the 3 pt line to the bucket on a drive in seemingly two long steps. Reminiscent of Clyde and Khawi Leonard.

vibes



it's wild that shaedon was 5 yrs old when BRoy did this.

i feel old.

 

[Voodoo]

Sharpe was nuts tonight, and I was steadfastly against drafting him. This is the first game I’ve gotten to watch so far, but he reminded me a lot of Ray Allen in a way. Like an interesting mix of Ray and BRoy. Sharpe is light years faster than Roy was.

goddamnn right

Me too, but he’s much faster, seems to have better defensive instincts, and is more athletic, on the flip side he has worse handles. They both are smooth af, and have a sweet stroke though. They certainly have some similarities, but Roy always looked like he was playing in slow motion, Sharpe not so much.

B Roy, Jalen Brown mix?

 

[blazerkor]

Shaedon honestly only reminds me of two players MJ and Kobe. I'm not saying that he has the drive to get to where they got to but his offensive skills and talents mixed with his defensive tenacity is something I haven't seen in the league too many times.
