Hoping Sharpe pushes Keegan MurrAy down if possible.
This is why you should have been rooting for losses down the stretch.
The Spurs are going to miss Sharpe by a couple of picks. Anyone they get at 9 won't have the upside that Sharpe will have.
Sharpe has superstar upside and could end up the best player from this draft.
Probably some Kentucky fan who wanted him back with Kentucky.

LOL @ this dude's high school cooking the books to make sure he can get drafted.
I don't think Calipari wants him back. His modus operandi is to clear out all his blue chips every year so the next batch gets all of the court time. Part of the sell is getting them drafted and clearing the way for the next class.
I'm impressed by people jacking off over this dude. Quotes from Calipari about him not being ready to play -- meaning not prepared, not being in shape -- just a few months ago don't sound great. Alright, he's a kid, sure, but he didn't sound ready to compete at a college level.
Dude smacks of James Wiseman to me. He sucked in college and hid himself away. Smartest thing in the world to do, made executives and mock draft enthusiasts get starry eyed and fill him up with dreams, when he doesn't know how to play basketball at the NCAA level.
The fact that Sharpe found a way to hide himself doesn't bode well for me. I don't care if you can dunk on high school kids who are six feet tall. This ain't that kind of basketball.
Sure, he may be great. Team workouts will decide. Big alarm bells if he skips the combine and so on. Very big alarm bells. Me, I pick players who clearly can play. This isn't Ella Enchanted.
Definitely fish, but expected with so much money involved. Will they wait to rename the high school Shaedon Sharpe High until after he signs his contract? LOL. Wouldn't be shocked if some sort of deals were made.
I'd take him at number 1. I'm going for the most talented upside superstar potential in this draft. You are too conservative.
You are completely idiotic.
No way. I would not pass this guy up at any point in the draft.
A player like Holmgren is far more riskier to me and he's going top 3, maybe even 1st overall.
Hoping the Spurs land at 4 and take him there.

In any case, this is good news for the Spurs (assuming they don't jump to the top 4, in which case it's neutral) because it pushes the rest of the board down, from where Sharpe gets picked (presumably before #9).
There's a middle ground here. Interview would be crucial to see if he seems motivated and hard working. It's unclear what Calipari's comments mean or don't mean, at least to me. He's like a used car salesman (though with a great eye for talent). The fact that Kentucky recruited him is a positive in my opinion. But it's going to be a risk drafting him. At #9, less of a risk considering we need a high upside player. I'd probably still take Ben Mathurin over him because we have more to go by. We'll see. Regardless, it's a good thing that he's in the draft now. There's no downside to this. The issue becomes who is available when we are on the clock.
Calipari said he'd go number 1 next year if he went back to Kentucky.
But...but...there's really no difference between drafting 6th or 9th.
I'm not on the same page with you over Sharpe, but the idea still holds.
Didn't Primo do something similar, combining 11th & 12th grades (reclassifying) so he could go to Alabama a year early?
Actually Sharpe might be worthy of a no. 1 pick as much as Primo of a no. 12 pick: neither impossible down the road, but there's absolutely no evidence as of yet to justify either one.You are completely idiotic.
I suspect Sharpe and Mathurin are the only two with a shot to push Murray down. Obviously both would be ideal, but even one would be nice. Every little bit helps.
Highly unlikely, but if the gap ends up being 2 (him available at 7, Spurs picking at 9), suddenly offering the Spurs 1st and Raptors 1st wouldn't be so far fetched.
CBSsports latest mock has us taking AJ Griffin at #9. They have Sochan going #8 to NOLA, which would actually be a great pick for them tbh. I could actually see this scenario happening

Sharpe ahead of Ivey seems ridiculous.CBSsports latest mock has us taking AJ Griffin at #9. They have Sochan going #8 to NOLA, which would actually be a great pick for them tbh. I could actually see this scenario happening

Griffin too imo, and i will add to the list Duren.
I really think people here and in a lot of mocks are overvalued Murray future spot in this draft. I really like him but at 5/6 i think it's too high. We'll see who is right on draft day lol

I can see a team like OKC going all in for Sharpe at 4 or 5
That is awesome news. That’s almost like the Spurs gaining a draft spot in the lottery.
In theory only. Combine and private workouts will determine a lot. If Sharpe shows what he’s capable of, I could definitely see him getting drafted ahead of Ivey. Not saying I think it happens, but I can see it.
Fansided has us taking Ousmane Dieng at #9. Doubt this happens. Would be a reach imo. Just sharing.

Reaching is what we do lately.
I wouldn’t mind Ousmane Dieng but man #9 is so rich for him but I do think he’ll continue rising up boards
