Portland Trail Blazers Select Shaedon Sharpe with 7th Pick of 2022 NBA Draft

With the 7th pick of the 2022 NBA Draft, the Portland Trail Blazers have selected untried rookie Shaedon Sharpe. Sharpe technically joined the Kentucky Wildcats but never played a game in his college career. He came from Dream City Christian High School in Arizona and played in the Candian EYBL for 12 games.

The pick comes after long speculation that the Blazers will not be keeping the rookie, rather trading him for veteran help alongside franchise superstar Damian Lillard.
