Shaedon Sharpe is quietly becoming the player Blazers fans think Jerami Grant is

The Portland Trail Blazers earned their first win of the 2025-26 NBA season, defeating the Golden State Warriors in blowout fashion with a final score of 139-119. With a convincing win of that magnitude, there are a lot of promising takeaways. Still, one low point was the play of recently extended guard Shaedon Sharpe.

The same inefficient play that Blazers fans have been previously frustrated by with Jerami Grant can be applied to Sharpe, who finished the contest with 17 points, four rebounds, one assist, and one steal, shooting 5-of-15 from the field and 1-of-6 from beyond the arc.
