NBA Draft Profile: Day’Ron Sharpe

Even though it’s only been half a year or so since the last one, the 2021 NBA Draft is tomorrow, and as with last year, there is one UNC player in the draft mix: Center/forward Day’Ron Sharpe. Sharpe’s been pretty active in the pre-draft process, starting with leaving the NBA Combine almost as quickly as he got there, not even taking the time to get officially measured. Since then, he’s been working on his body and his game, reportedly losing somewhere between 20 and 25 pounds since the end of the college basketball season and reworking his jump shot — and fitting interviews with DraftExpress and workouts with NBA teams in the meantime, including a recent workout with the 11th-picking Charlotte Hornets.
