and his shooting form looked terrific. i loved his fire. we need to infuse our other rookie with some of that to wake him up.

Sharpe looked like a droopy dog tonight. Very disappointing. If he was taken with a flyer OK, but not at 7. Duren looks ready to go. He looked like a top 10 player.

meh duren just dunked. he also made some of the same turnovers that were maddening in college.

shaedon was predictably a bit rusty. i really hope he can get reps the rest of the games. i don't like us treating him with kid gloves-- kid needs a kick in the pants.

For sure. But he shouldn't need a stiff kick, he should be gung ho to play.

i've done about as much research on this guy as a fan possibly can.

he's got a quiet competitiveness, and he's a gamer. there's a game of him going up against Mikey Williams ( super hyped and talented kid with 3 million followers while in HS). Williams was loud and showboating all game, but sharpe was the best player on the floor by far. completely unbothered by what the other guy was doing.

what he needs is reps in a 5 on 5 setting to bring back that fire. really sucked about the injury but i'm encouraged to hear he felt fine.

here's that game if you wanna watch:

Jesus Christ man. You think he looked droopy dog? Gee I wonder why. He hasn’t played organized ball in 1.5 years and he gets hurt in the first five minutes. I think that would depress me. The team clearly didn’t want him to play until he has an MRI. Just calm down on this shit.

Don't tell me to calm down when you've been one of the biggest cry wolfers on the offseason moves. Follow your own advice.

Lol what did you expect from a dude who hasn't played since high school.

That's on you for having some expectation that he was supposed to look like a #7 pick after ONE summer league game in his first competitive game since high school.

That's all on you.
 
So is Sharpe out for the WHOLE summer league?

Hahaha nice comeback. Please show me where any of my other posts are incorrect. Or where exactly I’m crying wolf. I’m waiting.

I don't see Shaedon on the bench.

REALLY hope it's not a dislocated shoulder.

No way it's dislocated.

Possible labrum scenario, but that's unlikely and worse-case.

Maybe tweaked some muscles in the rotator cuff area.

They'll work on it and I seriously doubt he sits out next game. They are just being super cautious with their lottery pick in a player evaluation game.

The Blazers injury curse is broken!

:cheers:

That shit was super annoying. Since they interviewed her, you knew it was a pre-determined storyline by the lazy ESPN summer league crew

They kept showing her since the game started. Shit, she had her own camera. Definitely their pre-determined story line for the game.
 
Of the guards I would only keep Keon. I enjoyed watching Williams last season, but with our overabundance of guards he would never see the floor. If we want an end of bench guard we'd be better off taking a chance on potential upside. I know he was invisible tonight, but maybe Didi. Plus I'm tired of small guards like Williams.

I heard ESPN is trying out the “Mom Cam” for the 22/23 season.

All games will be half screen of the game action and half screen of the mom cam.

The number of declarative statements that were completely wrong in this thread is bonkers.

Let's not add to it.

I'm not a homer. I would just never decide that someone is a bust because they're soft spoken at 19 and got hurt in their first summer league game. You are standing by that take like it makes sense. Like so many of your takes and I mean so so many, it's absolute nonsense. I don't know for sure what Shaedon will be but the kid's got game and we have no idea what kind of head and heart he has. The fact that you're so convinced that you know what kind of head and heart this kid has, once again tells us a lot about the kind of head you have.

He’s soft bro. I’m use to the Dame Mentality. This guy coulda said put me in the game I’m good.

period
 
I really hope Sharpe isn't a bust. I just don't have a great feeling about him. I really hope I'm wrong.
