Is It Sink or Swim Time for Sharpe?

[kjironman1]

He wants to have one for himself. He would like to get as big an extension as possible, or go into RFA and have teams forcing the Blazers to really pay him.

He’ll get a good paycheck.

It's time for him to swim, without a doubt

I believe "Storm in a teacup" is the correct phrase.

Now Scoot is gone?!?! MAKE UP YOUR MIND BLAZERS!!!!!

portland is so many years of bad that it doesnt have enough room in its ads for its collection of 'not quite Him yet' players.

Do you think it's weird though that they included every single other young player (and Dame) that we consider to be part of the core of the future..... except Shae.

Contract negotiations. You don't lose your position ahead of them.

He most certainly better have a good season. Seems like a bunch of people have some huge expectations.
If he doesn’t he’ll become the next whipping post.

correct you’re already seeing it start. This forum loves to do what it does best, find a scapegoat to complain about

Just think if the guy gets injured again. He was really young getting here. I'm looking for him to continue to mature and show incremental improvements in some ways that might be less noticeable in the box score. I'd like to see him manage the game on the court better and strive to improve defensively. Would really like to see him play with an edge forcing his will a bit more on the court.

Anyone else a bit underwhelmed looking at this list after, say, the top 5?
I think Sharpe has a good chance of being a top 10 SG after this year. The bar seems low.

Seriously what an excellent troll for us Blazers fans. Yeah, we ranked your young SG but we put him right behind the two starting SGs you all wanted gone previously. I doubt it was done on purpose but if it was, that was expertly executed.

It most certainly IS sink or swim time.

The dude isn't a frickin' fish. It's time for him to fly like an eagle.

Not sure how anyone can say he hasn’t shown star flashes. I’ve always said when I watch a players development I want to star flashes meaning games where I see him do things that show he can be a star. Over tha last two years I’ve seen that I really felt like only thing holding him back was respect for the older vets. When they weren’t in the lineup he excelled. The other thing that stood out was a little bit of fire when he got benched for not playing defense.

At very least I think he’s borderline all star and upside of Anthony Edwards.

Does he drink like a fish? Lillard is back you know.

hahaha, I completely forgot about that crap. Who was the idiot who said that trying to make a name for themselves?

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

It is sink or swim time. I believe he is gonna swim so fast though, that people will accuse him of cheating by gluing extra fins to his body.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

Take note on how many drinks Lillard has. I hear he drinks like a fish.

Ooh yeah. Jeesh. That aged well. Didn't it? Iirc, he just gaslit us all by never once addressing whose ass he pulled that out of. @BigGameDamian

Probability the same guy who claimed me posting a blurry airport picture was me trying to DECEIVE this forum!

Only the internet could come up with an “Is Shae washed at 22?!” narrative and actually develop a community
