THANK YOU. Anyone who sees the Kobe comparison is strictly talking about his game and his moves. I certainly wouldn’t want Sharpe to emulate Kobe’s efficiency.

whilr I may not have liked Kobe he had a killer instinct that was 2nd only to MJ. I hope Sharpe has that same passion and killer instinct or he’ll just be Drexler and not Kobe or MJ

Now that's a Nickname I like!

'Razor' Sharpe

I liked "Sharpe Attack", but since it's clear that "Hart Attack" is more apropos, I'm sticking with "Sharpe Shooter". Along with "Dame Time", "Fire Ant", "Bosnian Beast", "Shaq of Troutdale", "Swiss Army Knife" Winslow, and "Little Nas X-Factor". I got nothing for Jerami Grant.

Jerami Berami? For all the Good Place fans out there.

That photo just speaks volumes. Not just the insane leaping ability, but just look at the muscle definition on this kid.

If we'd drafted both Ant and Sharpe this year, Ant at 23yo and Sharpe at 19yo, both with the same skills they have demonstrated this year, is Ant a lock for the starting job at shooting guard?

It reminds me a little of the early Thunder. Harden came off the bench because Westbrook was already there and established. But if they could go back now and re-do everything, they'd obviously have started Harden. Maybe not as a rookie but certainly within a year.

I don't mean this as a dis on Ant at all, by the way. I really respect the 22ppg he's putting up, and fully expect his 3P% to climb back up to the 40%+ he's had the past two seasons. I'm just not sure he's the second best guard on our team.

That was Gary Grant. Can't reuse it for Jerami. Plus, we all know that Dame is the General of this detachment.

Like what you say about Sharpe ability and I agree.

Does that photo look like a typical play a guard makes or a forward? I'm not sure Sharpe's best position is at guard.

Yes he has physical similarities to some of the games great SG's in Jordan, Kobe, Carter, Clyde, etc. However if most of those guys came into the league today I suspect they would play more at SF than SG.

 

[Cugel]

grant is "gq"
shaedon is just shaedon sharpe, shae, shaedon, or sharpe. Though "the razor" aint bad as was mentioned. I dont think he want a name for some reason.

Agree completely. It seems like we have had much more of a problem finding a 2-way quality SF over the years than an SG.
Even Batum was frustrating at times with his lack of shooting. (remember that span where he refused to take an open 3 because of his slump?) I know they are supposedly similar positions, but nonetheless, SS with his 7' wing (and another 10 lbs) is our future at that position. Again, much easier to find SGs. (Although not always that easy either)

Messing with you. They guy was not really a huge part of the team? He did stick around for like 3 years though.

Nah, not a significant Blazer career--but he got his nickname long before he came here.

Oh did he? I had no idea honestly. Even more so If you had not brought him up i would never had even remembered the guy.

of course i know who Gary Grant is. Even before he was a Blazer. Enjoyed him as a Clipper to be honest.

At least he's not like former Blazer Brian Shaw.....never will forgive him for that gd bank in 3 pointer at the end of the 3rd quarter in the game that will not be numbered.

 

[TBpup]

It's been a minutes since Sharpe did some 'crazy sh!t'. Bring it on against the Spurs!

 

[BBert]

Teammates call him Shae. That's it. That's his nickname. He doesn't need a comic book nickname.

Similar to Damian Lillard. He's Dame. That's it.

Nah. He is now Air Shaedon "Shae" "Kitchen Boss" "Shady" "Razor" Sharpe. Deal with it. Haha

 

[TBpup]

Shae is my niece.....can't call him that.

He's been Smooth Shade so far.

He seems to have big first halves and then seems to be really quite in 2nd half. Like to seem him make the jump to being a bigger contributor in 2nd half. Steps in his process, my goal for him is to make it impossible for us to keep Hart because he needs starter minutes. That’s no slight on Hart love what he brings but kid will need a spot soon. Then you package Hart, Little and Nurk for a center.

Hard not to notice it. I haven't any data to go off of, but it feels like Billups plays him much more in the first half--maybe a few minutes in the third. But in the fourth he leans much more heavily on vets, and when he does play Sharpe in the second half he doesn't really run plays for him. I get it--Billups is trying to win every game and he hasn't built up enough confidence in the rookie. It'll come as the season progresses.

At some point this season Sharpe is going to put together some complete games, and everybody is going to wonder about this high school kid who just dropped 30.
