Shaedon baseline swinging sledge hammer grabbed #1 on NBA's top plays of the night.

As it should. Wait until he's starting , getting 35 minutes a game and taking 15-20 shots instead of 9.

Except Shaedon gets more elevation than George did when he was younger. . George measured 6' 8.75" in shoes at the combine. He's about 2 inches taller than Sharpe. George does not float in the air like Sharpe does.

A lot of those highlights of PG made him look like he was an old man even back then.

Yeah, there was one where George twirled and barely got the ball in on the way down. Nothing out of the ordinary, or maybe less than ordinary.

This is more what I expect (and already seeing) from Sharpe:

I moved to Indy right when PG was starting to take the reins from Granger and paid close attention. He was so hesitant back then but broke out in that playoff run that ended with him going against both Lebron and Melo in back to back series. Shaedon needs reps in the worst way. Run a bunch of plays for him, let him mess up and see diff coverages, and improve his bbiq. The talent is definitely there, just need to extract it.

The skill is there on defense too. He needs reps against the Best, not against the Bench. I think he'll learn the tendencies of opponents and use his athleticism/skills to become a very good defender.
 
Anyone else look at Shaedons dunks and think it's like when you were in your 20s and found a 9' or 8' hoop and you'd dunk on it?

He totally looks like he's dunking on a shorter hoop because of just how gawdy his jumping ability is.
 
Kuzma made a shot farther than Holiday did at the buzzer, didn’t make the top 10 and then got posterized at number 1. Good times.

He has either outperformed or is on par with some of the other star wings in their rookie years that I wanted to track his numbers against.

Shaedon: 20.3 mpg, 7.9 pts, 2.5 rebs, 0.5 asts, 47.9% fg, 35.6% 3pt, 10.3 PER

Brown: 17.2 mpg, 6.6 pts, 2.8 rebs, 0.8 asts, 45.4% fg, 34.1% 3pt, 10.3 PER

George: 20.7 mpg, 7.8 pts, 3.7 rebs, 1.1 asts, 45.3% fg, 29.7% 3pt, 13.0 PER

some more:

Kobe: 15.5 mpg, 7.6 pts, 1.9 rebs, 1.3 asts, 41.7% fg, 37.5% 3pt, 14.4 PER

TMac: 18.4 mpg, 7.0 pts, 4.2 rebs, 1.5 ast, 45% fg, 34.1% 3pt, 17.4 PER

Kawhi: 24 mpg, 7.9 pts, 5.1 rebs, 1.1 asts, 49.3% fg, 37.6% 3pt, 16.6 PER

Lavine: 24.7 mpg, 10.1 pts, 2.8 rebs, 3.6 asts, 42.2% fg, 34.1% 3pt, 11.3 PER

all age 19, except for PG and Kawhi who were both 20 their rookie years. Shaedon is trending in the right direction. Needs to rebound more like he has been doing and his efficiency will go up. His FT shooting (67%) is what is currently letting his TS% down which is in turn bringing his PER down.

Maybe it’s bias, but Sharpe looks way better than Lavine or Brown did as a rookie.

Lavine was simply a play finisher and Brown was a hustle guy more than anything. I was baffled when Brown went #3 and I was a Brown fan. Seeing how much better both those guys got is only getting me more excited about Sharpe. What separates Sharpe and Lavine/Brown is that Sharpe is flashing major shot creation ability already.

This guy hasn’t even had an offseason yet either. Year 2 Shaedon will be a different animal.

I wonder if Shae will do summer league.... has he advanced beyond it?

Good question, and I think he has. I don't want to see him "flying" around in summer league against players who are desperate to stand out in order to
catch on with a team. He needs a full summer of working on his game without any injuries. Plus I think a few months in the weight room would be beneficial if he wants to play SF as well as SG. I think he can handle another 10 lbs of muscle without losing any athleticism.

Yeah. I'd love to see him as the primary option, but I don't know if he's going to get much out of it. He needs to get more practice in NBA systems in live speed.

We need Summer League to evaluate the new wannabes, not watch the Shaedon Show. Then there is the injury risk playing against desperate scrubs. I hope he doesn't. He will be better off in focused workouts with NBA professionals.
 
I'm not sure how useful summer league is or how much it helps players hone their skills

if it does help, than it might be useful to gauge against his draft class and where he ranks:

13th in minutes/game

14th in pts/game
19th in reb/game
28th in ast/game

13th in FG%
14th in 3ptFG%
28th in FT%
23rd in winshares/48
28th in BPM

I'm not seeing anything there that says he's progressed beyond summer league. Just the opposite
 
As is, I dont think he'll gain anything from playing glorified rat ball with high usage. He needs reps in real games. That too, next to Dame as the primary SG.

This opinion could change if he performs really poorly in the next few weeks with Ant out.

Take out December and January when he was clearly dealing with that injury.
