Jury still out but he might be a team chemistry killer. In my head I'll always believe that was part of our downfall last year. I know we had the injuries and that contributed alot. But Sharp funked up the mindsets imo.
The Sharpe hype is re-emerging
- Thread starter JST390-2
- Start date
No he wasn't. Whitney was never a ball handler and looked very mediocre against talent even in highschool. Sharpe looked like the best player on the floor in those scenarios
Yeah the dragon did all that in HS and practice as well. He was a can’t miss prospect. Sharpe is an elite athlete but can struggle to create his own shot at times. I also think he will struggle with handling the ball in a 1on1 shot clock winding down scenario.
Sharpe also isn’t a “ball handler” at least not an elite one. He vaulted the rankings and then never played against actual non HS competition again. That has made him and his family set for life. But let’s not act like there isn’t a chance he never comes close to his hype.
The Dragon was never a good shooter nor did he have a skill set and could handle the ball even close to what Sharpe does. The only comparoisons they have is both are Elite Athletically.
Neither were good 3pt shooters coming out of HS. Average at best for either.
Very possible. He certainly was content to sit on a bench even when asked if he wanted to play.
Don’t care to ever hear his name again. He’s one former UK kid that I’ll never follow. He, and his parents, gave Cal their word he’d stay for his freshman year, then he didn’t. He has no integrity, and neither do his parents.
Remind me again.....who did Sharpe actually 'play' for in college??
I agree with this. I am curious to see if he lives up to the hype or not, but I'm not invested in him or supporting him like I do former UK players in the NBA.
That’s fair as am I …I didn’t even know who Sharpe was until I came across this board in January …then all that hoping he would at some point play for us …so I got invested …and now my curiosity is up and has been all summer …I live near Orlando and I was hoping the Magic got him but when they got the top pick it was too risky to take him at 1 though
I still hope he fails. He's already a millionaire, so I hope he ends up out of the league in three years.
So you're the guy who publicly thinks it's wrong to make a moral judgment on anything?
When you get cut off in traffic, you're okay with that?
When someone cheats on your friend's wife, you're not throwing stones?
Your pastor preaches heresy, and you keep those stones in your pocket?
And so on and so forth?
I would say you easily have the highest post vs. Sharpe mentions ratio.
The truth is we don't know anything about him other than grown ups have made decisions for him and when he plays in front of people he is apparently great. That's all we know. Everyone's guessing about his mind set and stuff, he is 18, adults are telling him what to do still. We don't know what kind of person he will become yet
I'm definitely never gonna become a fan of his. I don't have time to dislike him either. Will be curious to see how he plays and what's he is capable of in the league. I'm just glad he gone and we can move on.

Heck yeah he was content, he’s the first player I’ve ever saw that loved to ride the pine.
Despite a lack of recent tape, Sharpe still possesses immense potential that forced the Trail Blazers to take him high in the draft. He has since impressed his teammates in open workouts over the summer, including six-time NBA All-Star Damian Lillard.
I still want him to return to a game at Rupp and be honored with receiving his chair he sat in for 3 months.
We at least owe him that.
We at least owe him that.
This is probably true, but I will say this: adults didn't control me when I was 18. Did they control you? It's insane to me that Sharpe evidently had no say-so in the manner. I'm not sure I entirely buy that.
On a broader scale, is this current generation of young men the slowest developing male generation of all time?
Best advice is to forget Sharpe. You're only hurting yourself by nurturing a grudge.
I thought he retired to become Biden's press secretary.
He’s gonna set out a couple years and wait for the olympics
I don’t like him. He’s a taker not a giver
We care, clearly. Kid was one of the biggest travesties in program history and there's a lesson for Calipari to learn from the mistake, so it matters that the fan base never forgets.
If you don't like it; well, that's just too bad because we're never going to stop discussing it. Never.
That’s because he had a lot of practice handling his balls on the bench
I wanna watch Portlands first game Monday night …can’t find any broadcast info …anybody know anything ? Ideas how to watch ?
I hope he does well. I’m not hating against the guy.
