Shaedon Sharpe finally had the game Portland Trail Blazers fans had been waiting for on Thursday with a dominant and efficient 27-point outing against Maccabi Ra’anana. It was the exact type of performance Sharpe needed and the fan base needed to get excited about the No. 7 overall pick.

Yes, the competition wasn’t at average NBA level, but Shaedon Sharpe showed he’s got skills! First off, how many NBA players can get their head above the rim on an in-game dunk? While his dribble handles need tightening, he showed that he can get past his man and to the rim. So far, in a short sample, his NBA 3-pt shot has not gone down, but I believe with reps comes confidence. Imagine Shaedon having the confidence of Damian Lilliard? Sharpe has a great combination of getting to the rim and a mid-range game. If he has the consistent hunger to get better and reach his full potential, I can see him in 5 years, becoming the best player out of this year’s draft class!
Shaedon’s 27 was so effortless, was able to catch the game and it was definitely worth the watch despite the uneven level of competition
Does it make me a diehard if I’m watching these games and this podcast?
I still have a feeling that some of the reason why Sharpe in the first two games was statue-like, was something to to do with him being told to do that. Either to try and show off 3 pointer ability, or, to let the group work more together as a unit, or because he was injured, not to push himself too hard. I might be wrong, but I feel that was part of the reason.
Let the casuals continue to sleep on the Blazers…it's where we thrive!
Ahh, want this game played at the Rose Garden (moda center)??? So you could of just went live and watched it???
If lefties are called "Southpaws"…does that make me a "Northpaw"? Just saying
Was at the game, Little was the only potential starter to play. We didn’t run any plays for him. Why have him out there if you’re not get him coming off a few down screens for shots? This is a guy who’s supposed to keep defenses honest and be able to score the basketball and we’re not trying to get him game speed shots?
I live in Virginia and I’m a for real for real die hard blazer fan!!! And I’ve been listening to your podcast along with Jacked Ramsay’s from the beginning!!! Keep it up Mike!!!
I definitely stayed up until midnight cst to watch my blazers. The young players are fun. It's good to see sharpe show off his skills with a some more control dribbling he is going to be a problem. Also last 2-way needs to go to saar
Love it. The people hating on this because the level of the comp are missing the point. The first games you could clearly see he was finding his confidence. Love to see this and the young players make the switch.
