Shaedon Sharpe - Kentucky

[azcatz11]

What does James Young have to do with anything? UK recruits multiple 5 stars wings every year - not all of em are going to pan out

Same recruiter?

So? Jabari Parker was a 6'8 wing that went to Duke and went #2 overall and he ended up being a massive bust. Jayson Tatum was a 6'8 wing that went to Duke and went #3 overall and he is most likely going to be a 1st team All NBA guy this year.

Lol…I think he’s messing around

I've watched tape of Sharpe and he doesn't look good enough against high school competition to warrant people reaching for him in the lottery. He's a sneaky athlete, something like Brandon Roy in that 6'5" sort of body without the super long arms of a Kobe. He gets his shot blocked and altered too much against high schoolers. His superior vertical explosion is rarely utilized, which could be a positive, but you'd then have to judge him as a below the rim player and drafting that sort of prospect straight out of high school is not worth the risk. He has more in common with DeShawn Stevenson as a high school prospect than Kobe/McGrady.

Maybe I’m not understanding your post, but Sharpe has a 7-0 wingspan and is 6-5 or 6-6. If anything he has super long arms

To be fair, I think Sharpe has a good wingspan but I doubt its 7'. Its a reported 7' wingspan, just like his vertical is a reported 49". I tend to take "reported" measurements with a giant grain of salt, unless they come from team USA camps or a pretty well verified source. Just for comparison, AJ Griffin is the same height as Sharpe. But look at the width of his shoulders and the length of his arms compared to Sharpe's, to me there is a clear visible difference. And AJ has a legit 7' wingspan.

Sharpe doesn't have super wide shoulders and his arms dont look freakishly long either. Again not saying he has short arms or a bad wingspan. I just buy the 7' wingspan report as much as I buy the 49" vert report. And I highly doubt he will do any measurements at the combine, so the public will most likely never get an actual legit measurement for him.

Wingspan denotes arm length?

[basketballRob]

Sharpe scoring 58 pts., when he was 15. I assume he was 15 because the video is 3 years old. Either way his number was 15, so it's 58 pts., when he was 15.

The meltdown by the opposing coach was kind of funny.

Sharpe 47 pts.

There is a definite correlation, that seems pretty obvious

You don't have the correct data to back up your statement regarding his arm length as fact.

Sharpe was asked directly in an interview what his measurements were and he said 6'4" with a 7' wingspan. I assume 6'4" is without shoes.

Look at Sharpe doin a bunch of stuff that would definitely be called a travel in college but likely won’t be in the pros. The man knows his audience.

Rim (10 ft) - Gap (6 inches to be safe) - Sharpe Height (6'5 ft) = at least 36 inch vertical

Advancedvideometrics here. He is pretty hoppy regardless. Hope he does the jumping drills because that 49" inch vertical is a little bull.

I know nothing, but it strikes me that guy can go through an nba combine/get drafted by the nba and never get a check on his vertical leap of like "wingspan" or arm length or anything. You'd think these athletes would be tested all the time.

Does that hesi slow mo half spin nonsense actually work for anyone to create separation? I guess if it’s a counter to another faster move in the other direction, but that looks ineffective as all hell.

I would think that teams will test him at private workouts

Ya agreed. And that is why I said the "public" will most likely never get an actual legit measurement. No doubt teams are going to measure his wingspan and put him through athletic drills. But ya we practically never get any measurements from private pre draft workouts as the public. No doubt the teams will get accurate measurements. But I doubt we as fans will ever get an actual measurement.

[MemphisX]

Easily should be the #1 pick.

And the public never notices that it's always the private workouts that people can't verify that are the ones where the guy is actually 2 inches taller and 20 pounds heavier than his listed stats.
