Shaedon Sharpe: Risk Worth Taking?

Possibly the biggest question mark in the NBA Draft is Canadian guard Shaedon Sharpe.

The 6-5 guard has all the physical tools on paper needed to be a dynamic playmaker in the NBA, but there isn’t a whole lot of on-court proof.

Sharpe was relatively unheard of before showcasing his skills in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League, where he caught the attention of many and skyrocketed up recruiting ranks up until he was the No. 1 high school prospect playing amateur basketball.

Sharpe committed to the Kentucky Wildcats and enrolled a semester early, joining the team this past January after enrolling at the school.
