What to do with Sharpe?

The metal, the planet, or the god?

The Alpha and the Omega of your statement.

 

[blazerkor]

He's like watching mercury move.

Are you saying he gets under the opposition's skin?

D. All of the above.

 

[PCmor7]

He's poison to them.

I'm crazy 'bout our Mercury.

my parents had a 1952 Mercury exactly like this one:



it had a flathead V-8

Slam it, chop it, and you got something.

I like the curves...that bottom panel is smooth...those rear wheel wells would make changing a flat a bitch though...can see how that didn't stick

You cruise it up and down the road?

Please don't post a picture of those....

Unless it’s in the “Zurs gear” thread

You start the kid. Lets accelerate his grooming. He looks more than ready for more.

I want to see Sharpe look like Penny. He’s got the quickness. Shaedon’s footwork is quality.

Penny was a thought of mine too.

Start the man!

I'm back to thinking he needs to spend some time in the D-League. Certainly as soon as Payton can play (whenever THAT is). His confidence is shot.

First I was embarassed because I thought I had badly under-rated the kid. Now I am embarassed at the way I was sucked into believing in him. Well played kid - well played!

Good grief. So a 19 year-old kid with a ton of physical skills but virtually no basketball experience beyond high school is having a tough time adjusting now that teams have scouted him. Yup, he’s a bust.

People are ridiculous. Let the kid grow. He is 19.

[THE HCP]

This looks like the first photoshop fail ever done by you in 1952

 

[maxiep]

He'll figure it out in short order. He's already shown me to be 2-3 years ahead of where I thought he would be.

I still believe in Sharpe. I was just never convinced he was ready to be a featured player, let alone a starter. He has much to learn and experience is how one learns. I want to see Shae on an NBA court every game, regardless of his effectiveness in a particular game. Is good for him to have his shot swatted, or to get owned by a vet. That's how he will learn.

Sharpe like Ant is going to take 3 years to really not have to think about the game but just play it instinctively....Ant is almost there ...Sharpe is super talented and more confident his first year than Ant ever was....the future is bright with this young group of guys. They both won the NBA lottery themselves getting drafted to Portland and having Dame as a mentor...best leader in the game.

 

[Wade Garrett]

He's become a staple on NBA Today and Vince Carters "Upper Room(?)" segment on dunks of the week.
He is known.

 

[Natebishop3]

He broke his finger on the 11th of last month. His game kinda started to struggle after that. Wouldn't surprise me if it's related.

Agree with everything you said, although I have a tough time believing it’ll take a full 3 years for the game to slow down for him. He hasn’t even had a full offseason to work on his game, and unlike Ant, he is actually getting playing time in his rookie year. And most of us, if not all of us, would say Sharpe is much more naturally gifted than Ant. I’d be willing to bet his year 2 is exponentially better than his year 1.
