This kid will be the best player of the draft.

How can you say that when he hasn’t played a true game in over a year?

If that is how it plays out, we get our choice of Daniels or Mathurin.
apparently it seems like Mathurin declined to workout with us a while ago so he may very well have a promise as well within the top 7. Hopefully it means Daniels will be there for us.

There were those reports out of nowhere last week about Detroit really liking Mathurin. The only top 7 team that makes sense to me as promising Sharpe is Indy. I hope that is true. That would mean Daniels and one of Ivey/Murray falls to 7, so we'd get who's leftover.

This is a theory but Sharpes workouts haven't gone well at all.

Is this possibly why he canceled? I don't particularly buy the promise theory.

Everything we've been hearing is negative so hiding makes as much sense as a promise. In that case I wonder how far he could fall.

He's scheduled to work out for Indy Monday. Usually when you have a promise you stop working out with everyone.

Shaedon Sharpe has not worked out for the Sacramento Kings, although he did meet with the team at the combine and the Kings did go to his pro day early in the process. He's worked out for OKC, Orlando, Detroit, Charlotte and San Antonio and he's planning to visit Indiana on Mon.

Hadn't heard that. However, I read that he has worked out for Pistons, Pacers and Blazers (5, 6 and 7) so he may indeed have a promise. Hopefully Sharpe has a promise above 8. Rumors I have read is that he has worked out for OKC, Orlando, Detroit, Charlotte and San Antonio. I am hoping that if he has a promise, it is not with the Spurs (such that he is trying to have us pass on him).

I think he goes to OKC with Portland’s pick after they trade 7 for Lu Dort and 12.

Well if Mathurin and Sharpe both go hopefully that means Murray falls, which would be amazing.

If both Murray and Mathurin are gone I’ll have the sads.

If Murray, Mathurin and Sharpe all go before our pick, that means Daniels falls to us and I'd be thrilled with that outcome.

Really don’t like the idea of taking a guy from overseas who has only played one year in the G league.

Would much rather someone with bigtime prep and college experience - that’s why Murray would be a dream come true to fall.

Look at this clip of his interview and see how humble this fricker sounds.

There’s no question, if OKC moves to 7, they are exactly the type of team that would take a swing on Sharpe. No immediate expectations, playing for the future, and already having picked a player higher. That’s where my money is.

That’s what concerns me, he’s going to think he’s the best player on whatever team he joins. We don’t need someone coming in and trying to be a superstar, we need a team player that just wants to make the team better.

Best player on a team? How dare you belittle him like that.

quote:

“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.

A lot of these guys want to be "the guy".

Going to certain teams allow them #1 or #2 option.

Sacramento and New Orleans have lead options. I can see why they don't want to land there

Yeah no, I can see why he’s been dropping. He needs to go to a shitty team if that’s his attitude
