Blazers' entire rebuild hinges on a player that fans are already overlooking

Related Topics: Shaedon Sharpe, Deni Avdija

Shaedon Sharpe will determine how successful this Blazers rebuild ultimately becomes. Heading into year four, there's reason to believe he will live up to the somewhat nebulous label of shot-creating offensive hub, and plenty of reasons to be concerned that he won't. Sharpe, the No. 7 overall pick in 2022, has become somewhat overlooked around the NBA, even among Blazers fans. That isn't because fans don't like Sharpe; he's just been cast aside somewhat for other young prospects who have either already "popped," like Toumani Camara, or who possess the ever-alluring potential of someone who we haven't actually seen yet, like Yang Hansen.
