Whatever difference money wise between 1 in 2023 and 5-7 this year will be more than made up for by getting to his second contract a year earlier. I could see him going as high as 3-4 if he has a good pre-draft process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I see Paolo as like a Julius Randle in John Collins body if that makes sense, lol. Sharpe is the ultimate wild card, he can return to school and play still right? A Randle type is another good comparison for Paolo IMO. He is skilled, but just doesnt seem to have that star power to take over a game. Chet's health is somewhat concerning but I think he will be what people expected Porzingas to be before his knees gave out. Also could be a poor mans KD if his shot improves like KD's did. If he can get to like 200-205 by draft time, he would be a lock for me. I think he can top out in the 215 range after time with the NBA nutritionists and weight programs. It would be fun to grab him and Duran and add wings like Sexton/Bridges in free agency. That D would be tough and Stewart would be a backup C which is his best fit.

Emoni Bates should've followed suit, lol. Bates screwed up by not playing for Izzo. Bates should transfer to a school with a HC that can develop him in a year.

Texansfan713 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) Man if Sharpe can play the 3 I wouldnt mind him at pick 5 if the Rockets get it. Him next to Green would be nasty. Edited April 12, 2022 by Texansfan713 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'd agree with that, I think he can be an All-Star but won't ever be a superstar. Chet's frame is just so damn small, KP was bigger coming into the league. I honestly think you guys need another scorer/creator to take some pressure off of Cade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is so versatile which is what I love about him and will allow him to not be beat up too much. I think finding a better option than Killian Hayes would be important but I pretty much want Cade running point and surrounding him with shooters and scorers. He can create and be a harden type of PG IMO but has nobody to shoot around him other than the inconsistent Bey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs tough coaching and I agree with NYR, he needs to go to the G League and get some real coaching. Its a risk because he could be a 4 year player at this point if he doesnt develop. He showed no signs of being an NBA player this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think that having another playmaker, even if he is the primary playmaker, would help his game a lot. Someone that can play on or off the ball.

Going to his dad's fake school and refusing to take coaching certainly didn't help. He's also not very long or athletic and for whatever reason was dead set on playing PG.
