NBA exec blasts Shaedon Sharpe

[RoyKent]

Wow....

“We’ve known for a long time that this kid will be in the upcoming Draft," said the scout. "Everything he’s done since has hurt his perception. How do we trust a kid whose camp brazenly lies to every single person they come across?”

 

[akaukswoosh]

Good.

 

[track42]

Love this!!!!

 

[DudahUK]

Good.

Was gonna say the same thing. Karma.

 

[BassProCat]

I was getting ready to post this…hahhahaa I love it!!! I hope everyone with a voice puts that situation on blast and let’s Sharpe’s camp have it!!! Shady mfers.

 

[kydmb99_rivals103809]

So the whole NBA knew but Clownipari didn’t? Okay

No ****.

[Mad Max]

What did his transcript that he submitted to UK say? Bet $100 it didn’t say May…
If not, Cal wasn’t lying, he was lied to.

why do people assume stuff before ALL the facts come out?

As much as Cal has done for the NBA you’d think he’d have a couple connections that would’ve put him out ahead of this.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Watch out the worshippers will be along shortly to let you know that this is a bunch of BS!

 

[TankedCat]

yea but they'll still take him.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Well then, that is good with me. Can’t trust the kid or his advisors. ******** from day one, more likely on the way. But, we all know the kid will be drafted in the top 10. Doesn’t really matter. Maybe this article was triggered by some with some meat in the game? Kind of a self defense tactic?

 

[GuyFromKY]

Awesome.

 

[TankedCat]

I'm surprised it took this long for people outside UK to put this kid or his handlers on blast.

Its a bad look no matter how you try to spin it

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

This is fantastic!!

 

[Catfan2226]

He will still get drafted but its good that people know what type of liars the whole posse is.
Glad they got called out for what they are

 

[BradleyCrawford08_rivals]

I sincerely hope that this stunt he pulled backfires. Deserves every bit of flak for lying to and disrespecting Kentucky.

 

[BBNinSC_rivals62411]

I'm sure the coaching staff has more insight than even some of the RR geniuses. My guess is that Cal took a chance on Sharpe even if he knew the probability of him playing here was not great.
Even the biggest Calipari detractors will have to admit that he has done a good job of keeping the knuckleheads out of the program

 

[Shaudylo]

I never trust what an exec says . Some of these guys say stuff like this so said player falls to them .

 

[Rockfly78]

Finally

 

[BlueBomb]

Wouldn't it be great if the NBA boycotted him in the first round?

No one respond to this by saying, "You're an idiot, that would never happen." I, of course, know that. But I'd love to watch him sit there and squirm as his name is not called.

The issue isn’t his transcript or his graduation date. That’s just a smoke screen. If Washington was telling the NBA people that Sharpe would be in the draft there’s no way that Calipari didn’t know as well. To believe otherwise is being incredibly naïve and acknowledge that Calipari has no NBA contacts when we know that isn’t the case.

Calipari had the opportunity to do right by the program and he chose not to. I’m not one of those with pitchforks outside his house and saying he should be fired, but I totally understand why some feel that way.

It’s called Calipari Derangement Syndrome. Many on this board are afflicted.

Anybody with half a brain has been saying the same thing for months.

 

[TFCat11]

I’m tempted to make a prison reference, but I’ll keep it clean. Some grown *** men are going to make an example of Mr. Sharpe! If he ever ends up actually making it out on the court, that is!

 

[Uk2k4]

The whole saga has been nothing but lies. And all about the $$$

 

[Bkocats]

Hmmmm
As much as I want to believe it will affect Sharpe it could just be bad mouthing so he’ll fall to that particular team

I’ll be honest..if all this is true Im not sure I want the kid back here if he does decide to withdraw from. The draft

 

[Blue Wildcat]

I coach a high level program and talk to coaches all the time. These guys are looking for reasons to not recruit you. Character matters…someone will always take a chance, but no one wants to be connected to someone that they can’t trust.

THIS. Why in the world the NBA wants to help cover for Cal is beyond me. EXCEPT maybe because Cal is headed there this summer.

Should a woman take back a cheating boyfriend?

Once he's gone, GTFO.

so what is your take on what happened here?

 

[ukcatz12]

Because trying to be the person who is outraged the most is more important than facts.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Exactly. Your actions matter, and his actions should be alarming for any NBA team that needs to land an elite player.

 

[Blue Wildcat]

so what is your take on what happened here?

I believe they’ve always had the plan to go in this years NBA draft. I don’t believe Cal knew on the front end but believe he figured it out along the way and never reacted to it. For me it would be simple.. suit up and help the team or get your **** and hit the road…. His MO coming out of HS is that he’s soft. I believe this is what they were trying to improve through practice at UK, but didn’t want the world to see it.

Yeah, but if the transcript said Dec, Cal would have “known” he wasn’t eligible.

I think Cal is as surprised and pissed as most on this board…

but the pitchfork folks always have to burn something….not you…your points are reasonable and rationale…most aren’t, LOL

^^^^^^^^^^

Just to add to this.. I cut 2 kids this year for character issues. One trying to play on my team and another and lying about the reasons for missed practices (couldn’t keep up with both) and another for on the floor antics that made our team and organization look bad. If you want college coaches to take you and your team serious, you better play with and display high character. Skills are important…. Who you are and how you fit is the first thing they notice..

Actions speak louder than words. He will be taken immediately . All about the dollar and this kid brings it

 

[CHAMPCAT11]

So the whole NBA knew but Clownipari didn’t? Okay

I like ‘Clownipari’ but I’m sticking with Triple C. Good post.
