NBA execs aren’t sold on Shaedon Sharpe, ‘Show me where the 5-star S—t Is’

Despite enrolling early and saying, “100% I will be at Kentucky next year”, Shaedon Sharpe will in fact, never play a minute of college basketball.

On June 1st, mere hours before the draft deadline, Sharpe made an official announcement via Twitter that we would be keeping his name in the 2023 NBA Draft.

This means Sharpe has not played a meaningful basketball game since October of 2021, when he played for Dream City Christian (AZ) in a nationally televised game on ESPN against Prolific Prep (CA). Additionally, this means that the highest level of competition that Sharpe has played in is high school.
