Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe is coming off the best statistical season of his young career, averaging 18.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists on 45/31/79 shooting splits. But signs point to him having an even better season in 2025-26. He's in the top ten in odds to win Most Improved Player of the Year on DraftKings Sportsbook, and for good reason.
It remains to be seen if Sharpe will be a starter next season. Head coach Chauncey Billups benched Sharpe last year because of his lackluster defense, which was a bold move that played a key role in Portland's midseason turnaround.
