“I see myself as one of the greatest players to ever play the game of basketball,” Sharpe told reporters during a Zoom media availability call. Sharpe added he models his game after Bradley Beal, Jayson Tatum, and Zach LaVine, and has watched film on all three players.

I think I'm ok with Griff not wanting to draft Sharpe at all. He doesn't seem like he fits the culture and at best doesn't develop optimally and at worst becomes a locker room problem because of the poor culture fit.
To be fair, a lot of these guys have over the top false bravado going into the draft. When asked at the combine who's the best player in the NBA Chet answered "myself in two months".

And that irrational confidence will probably serve him well some places. But with the Pels they'd be asking him to be a cog in the machine. Even when CJ eventually leaves, Sharpe would be the #3 guy, not 1 or 2. I'm not saying he's a bad person or won't become a good NBA player, but you build a culture by adding more players that fit, not by adding players that don't fit.
It's entirely possible for both of these statements to be true:
- Sharpe doesn't fit the Pels culture and the Pels shouldn't draft him.
- Sharpe will become a really good player in the NBA some day.
Keeping what the Pels built last year moving forward is much more important than maximizing the return on the 8th pick. People are just afraid this is going to be another passing on Garland situation. But the Pels didn't just pass on Garland, they picked players that didn't work out at all so fumbled it about as badly as they could.
Sochan and an extra 1st for trading back isn't as good as what Sharpe may become, but it's not blowing the pick like they did with Jaxson/NAW either.
