Funny, thats exactly what management thinks about your opinion which is important because it's their opinion of how to use players that solely matters.

But please please please tell us more because we're hanging on every word


The 2 all time wings you note here both averaged the 16-20 MPG you want SS to. But their play statistacally warrented it. Hopefully Shaedon will earn a consistent role as well

Yeah I know management doesn’t give a rat fuck about my opinion but I’m not talking to management am I? I’m on some random ass message board. Every time someone posts something about their opinion you could say the same thing, so that’s a pretty moronic response.

TMac and Kobe thru the first ~25 games of their careers were net-negative players whose play didn’t really warrant them playing those minutes so yes, they were gifted minutes. Technically both should’ve been riding the line after game 5-10.

Bro, you are setting yourself up for a whole bunch of disappointment.

I don’t expect him to be any good, nor do I expect him to get 20 mins per, so no disappointment will be headed my way.

Totally agree, he needs to earn the minutes.
Look at Jermaine O'neal play less than 15 minutes game his 4 seasons here then went to Indy and played 30 plus and became an instant star.
He didnt play here because we were a playoff contender with legit star front court.
I doubt blazers knew he would pop like he did once he played 30 plus per night. If they did he wouldn't have been traded.

This is a shining example of exactly why he needs to play 16-20 per game.
 
Scalma said:
yeah, this definitely looks like a rotation player, lol he earned his minutes just like Sharpe will have to do. Cry more about it.

Yes expressing my opinion on a forum is “crying”. Maybe I’ll go cry on Slys mums shoulder about it. Can you pls remind me where in the red light district she’s working at these days?

I edited out the original person they were referring too, so it wasn't actually your mom he was talking about.
 
What kind of a lazy loser puts a guy on their loser list when he only got to play 5 minutes before an injury.... nothing has really changed since we drafted him. Summer league wouldn't have changed that.

These were Kuminga's (#7 pick in 21) split stats last year from October to April. I didn't follow GS closely enough but was the minutes increase a result of injuries to others?

without looking it up, I'm pretty sure the answer is yes. Draymond missed a couple months in 2022 due to an issue with his back, Otto Porter was also out for a while. JK was a beneficiary minutes wise

You're either trolling or I feel sorry for you. You think Shaedon Sharpe "dodged college ball"? This guy is a serious competitor who switched from dominating in Canada as freshman (leading his team to an Ontario champioship [the most populace province in the country]) to play higher level HS ball in the states, where he switched again to be in a more competitive situation. I take him at his word when he says that he went to Kentucky to play ball but when his name flew up the draft boards he chose the more competitive situation again in the NBA. I'm not denying that we haven't seen him in competitive situations at the college level, I'm just saying he definitely played competitively at the college level and guys like Billas and a ton of scouts loved what they say. His own teammate TyTy Washington said that Sharpe was the best player there.

Comparing Kentucky practices to random pickup games in the summer is preposterous but that's OK you seem to constantly go to ridiculous stretches just to try and be right when you're clearly wrong.

good grief... sell your flailing nonsense elsewhere. Seriously sad. I'll stop responding to your BS as ridicolus takes are what I've come to expect. When confronted with basic facts like SS skipping his Senior year of HS and that next year should be his 1st in college you always go onto personal attacks with more and more wacko accusations untied to reality. Enjoy fantasy land!

I think you're of the opinion that Shaedon is the same as a high school graduate going from his senior year to the NBA or maybe even less because he didn't play his senior year. You also seem to think he is competition avoidant.

I'm of the opinion that he went to Kentucky and was in their program for four months, in which he practiced against and with a top ten team in the nation and was coached by one of the best college coaches of all time. I think that actually puts him far closer to a player coming into the league with one year of college experience than it does someone fresh out of highschool. I also think he's taken every opportunity he's been presented with to take on better competition. I know that everyone that's played with him or seen him play during this last year thinks he's one of the most developed players in this draft class.

You should ponder why it is that you seem to be so far at odds with people here that so many others agree with or at least see their side. I think that might be the issue, that once you have an opinion you can't see the logic in opinions that contradict yours.

That's my wife in a nutshell right there. I've learned long ago that if I disagree with her, I keep that to myself.

Kind of tough to do that here though.
 
He needs to play in the D league for a while and get some seasoning. Someone will inevitably get injured and then call him up.

And no incentive to, whereas you have all of the incentive in the world to keep it to yourself at home.
 
Sharpe's gonna be fine. Man! He sure has some off the chain skills. I think playing against our best will be plenty to get him going into the season. The training staff will have him building up his body until then. It's gonna be exciting.

At this point Sharpe is a "project." How good and how advanced remains to be seen. Like any young project, the Blazers will bring him along and find spot minutes for him as appropriate, based on his progress and ability. No sense getting wound up about it now.

Keon Johnson is a project, Ant was a project and Noah Vonleh was a project. Sharpe is high lottery pick with talent and body ready to work with. There is no reason to think low about him. He is not 22nd pick, ffs. As a lottery pick, he should be in starting lineup after this season. Blazers tanked for him.

Most posters have the good sense to express their opinions as their thoughts and not pronouncements about what "We" need to do. You sound laughable saying how much "We" need to play a straight from HS kid even if he doesn't earn those minutes so that "We" can figure out early if "We" should trade him. We don't decide jack silly. We don't see but a fraction of young players efforts and growth or lack there of.

I have hopes that Shaedon will hit the ground running. That he will work diligently, be a sponge for coaching and advice from teammates, flash in practice and then in games to earn a consistent role. But I also know that I'm not in a good position to judge what I'm largely not seeing & that player development often takes time. You brought up Ant as the way not to bring a kid along which I don't get at all. His first few years he clearly had all the physical tools, but looked lost not knowing what to do. That was even true after his rookie season when he was getting the regular minutes you stated you require. If they'd have rushed to a judgment on whether or not to trade him based on early returns, Portland would have some random crap asset(s) instead of one of the league's brightest young stars.

Why can't @Predator state an opinion without receiving harsh/condescending words from multiple posters ? Isn't this a place to discuss our thoughts on the team and what we believe is their best course of action ?

That's just uncalled for and ridiculous. What the point of coming on here at all if we can't share our opinions on the Blazers ? Maybe we should delete the "I think dame will be MVP" as well since it is pointless, we are not the one voting ? We also should tell Torey and Eric to shut down Blazers Uprise as all opinions on the team are unwelcomed.

You're completely misconstruing my point, but whatever. Have a nice day and continue posting whatever you want.
