I voted multiple time all star, but I really wanted to vote superstar. I think that if he put it all together, he’ll be a 10x all star. I saw people talk about Sharpe being immature and stuff about his IG. At this point, I don’t see how anyone can expect a 19 year old to be immature or has heard him talk enough to make any kind of assessment on his maturity. I also don’t see anything bad on his IG. Chauncey likened Sharpe’s demeanor to Ant’s during his intro press conference. Ant’s next step in his leadership might have to be guiding Sharpe through his journey, as someone who’s already gone through the HS to NBA path. Everything Sharpe has to succeed is in Portland, I’m sure his representation saw that as well.

As far as player projections. He’s got superior measurements compared to guys like him in recent drafts like Jalen Green and Anthony Edwards, so I actually like him more as a prospect for the Blazers than either guy. He has the ability to get up like them, but based on his highlights, he plays more like Bradley Beal mixed with Paul George.

My floor for him would be a better shooting/defending version of Will Barton.

My ceiling for him would be a more efficient but smaller version of Paul George.

No one likes a prospect that falls in love with his jumpshot, but in Sharpe’s case where we barely have any tape, we know that he at least projects to be a player who can get his own shot. That was the biggest knock on PG as a prospect, but I expect Sharpe to be further along on that side of the ball sooner. His shot isn’t picture perfect, but he was hitting his 3s easy in HS like Ant showed in his tapes. He has a strong lower body and is further along physically than Ant was as well.

Chauncey has stressed wanting to be known as a defensive coach, I’m not too worried about that side of the ball either. My only fear with him would be not getting the playing time to develop sooner than later.

If you are going to go with Jordan as best case, you might as well use all those fake MJs that came afterwards for worst case. Maybe Harold Miner?

Do I win anything for being 100% correct about his ceiling…..?

Sorry but with inflation and the increasing popularity of the game, I'm not saying he will be a billionaire but that seems to be the ceiling for an NBA superstar and I think he could be that. So more like 99.999% chance that you're correct about his ceiling.
 
Serious question to the board: how many All NBA teams does he have to make before we can call him All NBA Shae? Or does it only have to be one? You know, the same way Mo Williams and Jameer Nelson were all stars.

LOL. Let me know ya’ll.

Green and Edwards skipped their respective combines. I wish I knew how big they are for discussions/comparisons, but apparently I can just pull data from my ass?

He makes one and I think we have the green light.

Yup, if your ass can use google to make sure the numbers aren’t ridiculously off, I think you’re good dude.
 
The nice thing about my prediction is that if I'm wrong, I'm happy!

But if some of you are wrong.... sadness.
