Sharpe falling to us is HIS best care scenario. We don't need anyone with pick #8 to come and contribute immediately. He will be able to slowly bring himself up to speed while learning to be a professional.


I don’t disagree with any of this. That said I personally have soured a bit on taking Sharpe for some of those same reasons. Sharpe played zero minutes in college. If he comes to the Pels and gets a trey Murphy introduction to playing time that’s just a long time for a ball dominant guard to not be playing life competition. As athletic as he may be he is a still a guard who will life and die on his skill and his handle. Those things just can’t sit on ice and develop.

That said Kobe played zero minutes of college and averaged only 15 minutes as a rookie so what do I know.

Trey was in an awkward position(Jax before him), where, ideally, they would have been in the G League much of the season getting reps ala Kuminga and Moody, but injuries and lack of quality depth kept them on the bench with the team more than was anticipated.

That could obviously happen if, god forbid, the Indian burial ground the stadium feels built on strikes again, but most likely whoever we draft, be it Sharpe or Mathurin/Daniels/Griffin etc., will spend a good chunk of time in the G League.

Kobe dominated high school basketball at a level Shapre hasn't.

Kobe dominated both offensively and defensively, averaging 30.8 points, 12 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 4 steals, and 3.8 blocked shots.

Sharpe has shown offensive potential but was an absolute CONE on the defensive end. He should have dominated.

And Kobe was pick 13.
