Sam Vecenie and Bryce Simon recently predicted rookie-scale extensions on the Game Theory Podcast. One player whose contract situation gave them a challenging time to predict was Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe.
There are just so many question marks surrounding how Sharpe fits into the Blazers' new roster and whether he's able to put it all together to reach his tantalizing upside. He's just 22 years old and coming off a season in which he averaged 18.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists on 45/31/79 shooting splits. He's already a certified bucket-getter and could develop into an elite scorer if he develops a reliable jump shot.
