Damn good listen and deep dive into sharpe. LINK

It was an interesting listen though didn’t exactly add too much that wasn’t already out there if you’ve been looking/reading on your own. If people want to assume the most negative interpretation of his journey they can, but I think the pod made clear it’s not that simple.

I’m curious to see Kyle’s breakdown, and out of the two, Kyle’s judgement has a better track record when it comes to guards(like Tjarks and am really hoping he pulls through and am very happy he is feeling good enough to do the pods, but Kyle sort of joked a bit, but he missed bad on Cade and some his comp was a but off the mark imo). A richer man’s Gary Trent Jr. wouldn’t shock me as a low to medium floor for Sharpe, but his upside is superstar. Though, it has to be taken in that with the odd path and limited tape, his variance in outcome is amongst the highest besides maybe Ousmane Dieng.

Though one place I did firmly disagree is immediately reaching for the Wiseman comp if he lands in NO, when, Wiseman’s issue has as much to do with injuries as anything, and it can just as easily be a Simons situation where, like Simons, Sharpe doesn’t play in college, goes to a good organization with good vets and coaches, and develops over the course of time without pressure and emerges ready to be an all star
