Shaedon Sharpe has been playing substantially better as of late, providing reason for optimism despite the Portland Trail Blazers' 10-16 start to the season. That's crucial to Portland's entire rebuilding trajectory, as the former No. 7 overall pick could offer the most realistic pathway to a superstar among those currently on the roster.
Despite his recent play, Sharpe still has a long way to go before reaching that star ceiling. An improved three-point shot is the catalyst behind Sharpe's recent leap, but that's also bound to regress from the 48.4% he's been shooting in December. He must address other areas of his game to compensate for this inevitable regression, the easiest of which is his questionable shot selection.
