NBA opening night was eventful for many of the 2022 NBA Draft’s most promising players – including Portland Trail Blazers’ shooting guard Shaedon Sharpe. The 7th overall pick had an efficient game versus the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, garnering attention for it.

NBA.com included Sharpe in their feature coverage, and had this to say about the high school standout:

“Sharpe was selected seventh overall in the draft despite not playing last season at Kentucky. He came up with a key 3-pointer to open the fourth quarter and also had an assist on another 3-pointer as Portland’s bench held firm to open the quarter and seal a victory.
