Sharpe could be the best player quick in teams like the Spurs where he'd get the playing time and green light. With us, it'll take him a while. He'll get there eventually.

I hate his softness so much that I don’t care. I don’t like watching him play. I’m sure he sets great screens and is better defensively than others in the paint. So he should play. But I wish some coach and some point would bench his ass when he is soft and avoids contact or throws a lazy pass. How else will he ever clean it up.

That's what Chauncey did in game one. Nurkic responded by going 6-9 from 2pt, 8-9 from the FT line, and posting 20 & 17 with good defense.

I wonder what it's going to be like if he has a sub-par game soon.

Well, that didn't take long. I guess if we go by the logic of this board and the never failed us before sample size, he should be the 15th man.

i was watching the game thinking, “ohh man im gonna get roasted on the forum”. Lol.
Kid will be fine. With Dame as a tutor, Billups emphasizing defense and the fact he doesn't have to be thrown into the fire every night, he will blossom.
Still sticking with my bold prediction that he is the second best player and a starter on this team by the end of the season.

I think he'll have games like this for a while, and games like he did against the Kings. It's too early to make any declarations about his game/career, but you can definitely see a lot more positives in his game than negatives.

And the thing is, last nights issues (the fouls) are totally, 100, teachable moments. He didn't look like a deer in the headlights out there (he has as of yet, looked that way). It's just he didn't have the muscle memory/memory of what to do in situations like he was in last night.

Some people *have* over-reacted to his performances so far, and that's causing a weird faux anti-sharpe backlash.

I'm just going to enjoy his growth, and have fun watching him play. I'm also not going to take games like last night too seriously, just as I didn't take games like the one against the Kings too seriously. Overall, his production/growth has been positive, and in the right direction.

100% agree overall. great reasonable take.
I just think that positive direction is going to gain momentum like a gieger counter.
I will say this. The only thing left im really not sure Bout is bow aggressive he will have his game settle into.
Right now i could see anything from a Batum career to a Kobe career and i think most of what the difference will be is all I'm his head. Mentality. Can he get his mental motor up to game speed and how aggressive will his normal game settle into? I know his role is to camp and slash, but i want him to want more. Hard to tell on that right now because I’m sure coach has him tempered to not try to do too much.

for now. I said our second best player by the end of the season.
Kid has Dame stoic ice blood in his veins.

He won't start all sign (unless there are injuries). He won't be the 2nd best player this year. Name the overall metric, and I'll bet you he isn't even top 3 on the team.

That doesn't mean he won't be good down the road though!

like i told mr. Hcp, save your crow for the end of the season. If im wrong, ill eat it. :)
 
Another player to look at their first season (compared to how they are now) is Giannis.

I was in Milwaukee a lot when they drafted him and there was much skepticism, more so than with Shae, but it did't take long for everyone to embrace him and not just because of his potential skill set but also his personality.

Are you purposely looking at MVP Hall of Fame players? Just curious. Like why not Kontavious Caldwell Pope?
 
for fuck sakes, can you guys stop the back and forth bullshit about Sharpe until we get at least half-way thru the season?

An optimistic hot take. He would have to be ROY for that to happen

That’s EXACTLY what I posted somewhere on here. I don’t get pumped up off his first game and not down after last night. Kids fresh out of HS. And 1/2 way thru the season isn’t nearly enough time to judge. Give him a couple years like I said when we drafted him. Just like Ant.

You're the one who brought up a player in the first place.

My point is that you can't take anything from 2 games.

Talent wise, yes.

Travis Outlaw had loads of talent, but he was never the best player on Portland’s roster. Not even close. There’s a huge difference between being talented and being the best player on a team.

Would you rather have Ayton for twice the cost?

That’s how we need to judge Nurk—whether or not he wins his matchup every night. Nurk had a terrible game 1, but Sabonis didn’t go off. In game 2, Nurk and Ayton pretty much cancelled each other out.

Really, it’s been a wash so far through two games (not a huge stretch to say imo), and I’d rather have Nurk at his contract vs Ayton at his contract or Sabonis at the contract he will command after next summer.

I didn’t choose future HOF players though. Why would you compare this random kid’s career path with them.

Because going off of a super small sample size is idiotic, since it shows nothing about what their careers will be.

I thought that was pretty clear.

And once again, totally agree with you. I didn’t get hyped after game 1 and didn’t get down after last night. The only difference is, you guys seem to think he is headed to be an all star and and I havent seen enough to even predict if he will be a quality role player in the league.
