B Roy, Jalen Brown mix?

Haven't seen enough Jalen Brown to comment. His smooth stroke, lack of emotion and kind of clinical destruction of the other team, body size, and mediocre handles really reminded me of Ray Allen more than anyone else.

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.

I think you’re getting a little ahead of yourself hehe, but hope you’re right. I can kind of see the Kobe comparison, but obviously it’s more like saying the absolute best possible projection for Sharpe is a Kobe like player. That’s if god granted our wish, smiled upon us, and Sharpe works his ass off.

Idk about with the starters, but maybe with the bench.

Not a very nice line to bet on anyways, total crapshoot. Starters or bench. 30 points or more is both a lot in basketball and also absolutely possible.

I’d have lost.
 
Sat next to Shaedon’s brother and mother, although I didn’t realize who they were. We talked throughout and afterwards the brother asked if my son and his friend would like a photo with Shaedon. Of course, I said. Then as the ushers were telling us we had to vacate, the brother said next time maybe, he won’t answer my texts. Then next thing I know Shaedon runs out of the tunnel and into the stands to take a photo with the boys. My son was geeking out about it. It was very cool.
 
Just looked and saw we won’t tonight against a middle school B team. Was at my daughter’s soccer game…. Going to go read this game thread. This should be fun.

So after Sharpe plays tonight and has a few good plays against this Junior College team, is he headed back to being a lock for the Hall of Fame? Just asking so later when I’m checking this place out postgame, I am prepared.

Wow not against the best comp but
Just watched Sharpe highlights and he reminds me of Broys game but with more athleticism

See it's not hopeful or realistic. It's just that his combination of physical talents, skills and bag of tricks on both ends of the floor only comes to summation with MJ and Kobe but he would have to be an absolute insane monster to push it to that level. I guess he could easily be a smaller PG13... that's probably more realistic but he just has this quality about how he goes and gets it when he believes in himself that is special on that insane level.

Dude I get what you're saying but like we all do you're making huge exaggerations. Just look at the names on the team that Shaedon did this against and you will hopefully understand (unless you spend so much time looking and cutting Blazers highlights that you don't know who the role players around the league are) that this is a team full of guys who have played meaningful minutes in the NBA and younger guys who are beating them out for minutes. So they aren't a JC team or a middle school B team. They're better than any team he would have faced in Summer League and he did it without Dame, Jerami, Ant or Nurk taking the concentration of the defense off of him.

You're on record saying that this guy can't be good this season and you're also historically stubborn when you take stances like that. So of course you minimize just how good he was tonight without even fucking watching what he did. Watch the fucking game. See all of the tools this guy is working with... try for once to not think your original opinion is absolutely correct and then see if you get a little excited about the things that Shaedon Sharpe has that no one else on this roster has on both ends of the court.

Fucking coming in here with a shit eating grin proclaiming your predictions to be correct without seeing what everyone is responding to or being aware of the context should be below you.
 
How did Walker end up with 12 and 7 lol. I missed the 4th but he had like 5/3 when I left.

Son, I have a family and priorities, of course I’m not going to watch this game. And I love that I’m so up in your dome, you continue to cuss at me. I didn’t think of you or this team all night, but @THE HCP obviously was on your mind.

In my opinion if he is THAT close to contributing, he should be out there running circles around teams like this tonight.

Well he pretty much did. 27 pts in 23 minutes and made it look easy, got to the rim at will.
The negative was 3pt shot still wasn't falling.
 
Nas still pretty underwhelming but had some good strong takes to the rim.

Sarr looks better than Eubanks so he should at least be running away with that 2-way spot and be a consideration for backup 5 minutes if Watford doesn't works there
 
Sucks it wasn’t on TV so I couldn’t dvr it. I want to watch a blazers win and see Sharpe!

I know he's still recovering from his surgery (a bit), but is anyone else kinda "meh" with how Little has been?

(same with Hart tbh)
Click to expand...
I disagree about Hart, but even if he had been, he'd kind of have an excuse for not looking amazing in pre-season as a vet. Nas has to prove himself (YET AGAIN) and just isn't. But he'll be injured in a couple of weeks, anyway...
