Shaedon Sharpe

Draft Notes

Sharpe is a quick, bouncy wing prospect with long arms and all the tools you want to see in a high level NBA prospect. He has been flying up the rankings all the way to the no.1 overall spot in his class. Sharpe has committed to Kentucky.

He’s got a quick first step and gets to the rim with ease and can really finish through contact. He’s a great slasher and a good off ball cutter who always looks to take advantage of his nice finishing ability by making moves to the rim. A ferocious dunker who can bring the house down with his monster dunking ability.

Sharpe is still developing his ball handling, play-making and outside shooting game but his progression has been quick and he’s well on his way to being a knockdown shooter. He’s got the makings of a nice pull up jump shot and gets good rhythm with the dribble before rising up for the shot. He’s not a pure shooter but shows a lot of promise.
