Is Shaedon sharpe playing tonight? Hard to tell
 
Chauncey explicitly benched Sharpe

He definitely is. You can feel how many points he’s allowing and how many turnovers he has.

Is he regressing?

I guess just growing pains.

I'd be ok with it to get his defense improved.

But pretty hard to make that point when Ant and Ayton are the vets entitled to play with even worse defense.

It’s pretty apparent by now he doesn’t have much fire. This is who he is. I don’t think he cares much for the game like that

Sort of have to agree, really don't want to give him a large extension if this type of play continues, does he want it?
 
Theres like no reason for Grant and Ayton to be on pace for 38 minutes…

Sharpe has been worse than both. Ants effort and rotations have been better, he’s just small. Shaedon is lazy/unaware or both.
 
With Sharpe, he just looks so content taking step back jump shots and jogging back on defense 70% of the game. Sure he looks like a superstar the other 30%, but if he can’t sustain that effort he’s not that player. His motor runs so hot and cold and I haven’t seen that change in 3 years.

If the Rockets collapse and lose by 50, we could win our group.

No we can't - they have the tiebreaker over us as they won head to head. Point differential is second tie breaker after head to head.

Yeah I'm super concerned he's going to get a max or even if not a max a deal much bigger than Ant got and I'm not sure he's a starter.

Always wonder if Simons would have developed to a better defender if he wasn't mentored by Dame CJ Melo.

Hoping we aren't sending Sharpe down the same path to the dark side.

Shaedon's biggest issue is EFFORT. Half the things he's getting dinged for can be fixed if he just game a damn the whole game.

Needs to learn some accountability.

Agree, that's the entire point we have been talking about, he's 21 and in his 3rd year and has missed a lot of time, why is the effort so low, big time red flag for me

We should have guys give huge effort on both O and D. If that means they only play 20-25 mpg then so be it.

I'm ok with losing but I want to see effort.
