Wiggins highschool stats very massive ( 23,4 ppg 11 rpg, 2,6 bpg, 2,5 bpg) .
DIfference between them is being actually tested vs telling stories of Sharpe.
Andre Wiggins was promoted as 6'8 guy. At draft combine he showed being almost 6'9 in shoes.
Sharpe was promoted as 6'7 guy. Showed 6'5 at combine.
Wiggins was promoted as athletic freak. Showed at 44 inch vertical at combine.
Sharpe was promoted as athletic freak. Elected not to participate, rather have some unofficial testing witch is as accurate as boy telling girl his lenght on first date, while both being drunk.
Wiggins showed at college. Putting 17 ppg ,6 rpg.
Sharpe pretty much founded loophole to not play games.
Only actual fact about Sharpe that didn't went from "fact " to bulls*** so far is his wingspan. Everything else is kid's camp doing everything but basketball to make him sound like good basketball player.
I’m not hung up on his size. League is getting smaller anyways. Plug the kid at SG, let Mosley mold him and see what happens. He’ll probably grow another inch or so before he’s done.
From all I’ve read he wasn’t dodging to play at UK. Calipari is a weird guy. Had the kid on his roster and didn’t play him. Never really cared for him as a coach tbh. Always has done some head scratchers.
Every year players try to find a way to choose where they want to go. After the UK bs think his camp is just trying to get him into a position where he can grow as a player and contribute.
I still got him there because I’m not enamored with any of the top 3 rn and from what I see, Sharpe’s skills are already there and probably more advanced offensively than anyone in the draft.
I don't really care about his size, his size is just yet another reminder that everything about this kid is BS.
He was promoted to be 6'7 guy that showed with his all 6'4 at draft combine.
Him being wrapped in multiple lies is what rubs me in wrong way.
His "skills" is something nobody saw since highshool nor they were ever tested against better competition. Same highschool skills made RJ Hampton top college recruit and "best player" . Than he showed up in New Zeland in professional league and looked like a**. If he didn't play there, some fool would draft freaking RJ Hampton top 5 overall and probably got himself fired already.
Even if we make argument that he didn't ducking playing at college, it still paints him in bad light because it just means he wasn't even better than UK backups to be worth picking and playing 10 min a game.
He may or may not end up being good, but from what i got from him is more about mystique than actually anything he ever showed on court. Just feels like Dante Exum saga all over again.
Eh. He’s a shade over 6’5. Probably will round to 6’6. Maybe 6’7 when he’s done. Perfect size for the SG spot. Sitting at near 200lbs with almost a 9 inch reach. A lot of guys walk around shorter than advertised. Doesn’t negate his factual overall size and how he’s got good measurements.
Dante Exum? Not quite. There’s some things he has done that show he can play. While it would’ve been great to see him in college, it isn’t always a indicator of what a player does in the NBA. I’ve seen less tape on guys who’s done quite a bit of damage in the NBA.
Eye test, physical measurements, tells me he’s got a lot of potential. I just don’t think Weham should x his name off the list yet.
