Shaedon Sharpe News, Rumors, Updates - Portland Trail Blazers

Shines off bench Wednesday Sharpe had 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one block over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 125-122 victory over Golden State.

Impact He was highly efficient from the field and posted a solid stat line, missing just two shots from the field and ending just one rebound away from tying his career-best mark. Sharpe could see a slight boost in playing time after the Trail Blazers moved Josh Hart to the Knicks on Wednesday and received a lesser-established rotation player in return (Cam Reddish), but the rookie's production is still lacking in too many areas for him to bring value outside of deeper leagues.

Fails to fire again Saturday Sharpe ended with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one block in 17 minutes during Saturday's 129-121 loss to Chicago.

Impact Sharpe continues to disappoint, failing to top double digits for the fifth time in his past six games. Despite carving out a 20-minute role for himself, Sharpe has been unable to turn playing time into fantasy production. He currently sits well outside the top 300 in nine-category formats, making him an afterthought, even in the deepest of leagues.

Pops for 19 points Monday Sharpe amassed 19 points (8-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal over 27 minutes during Monday's 147-127 victory over San Antonio.

Impact Sharpe popped for 19 points in the win, the most he has scored since mid-November. The rookie has had a few promising moments throughout the season, but on the whole, it has been a little disappointing. His lack of peripheral production limits his overall appeal, making him a streaming consideration, at best. He has scored in double digits only three times in the past 10 games, so there are likely more reliable sources of points available, even in competitive formats.

Offers scoring, but little else Sharpe finished with 13 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds in 18 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 122-113 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Given his standing as a rookie guard who didn't play college basketball, Sharpe's 55.1 true shooting percentage has been noteworthy, but the 19-year-old remains well off the fantasy radar outside of very deep leagues. Though he's settled into a regular role on the second unit and has now hit double digits in points in two of his last three games, Sharpe is doing little else to supplement the scoring. Despite playing no fewer than 14 minutes in any of his last 10 appearances, Sharpe is averaging just 2.6 rebounds, 1.0 three-pointers, 0.8 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.1. blocks.

Struggles in 21 minutes Sharpe contributed two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over 21 minutes during Thursday's 119-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Sharpe saw a few extra minutes in the loss but failed to do anything with them. He has now scored in single-digits in four straight games, dropping a combined 17 points in that time. Outside of scoring, Sharpe has very little to fall back on when it comes to overall production, meaning he is a long way off being even close to an add in standard or even deeper formats.

Big minutes in loss Sharpe registered 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 113-106 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Sharpe saw almost 28 minutes, the most in his last eight appearances, and he provided a solid performance. This marked his second straight game scoring in double figures. It's been an up and down year but over his last three contests, the young backup is shooting a solid 63.1 percent from the field while averaging 10.0 points, including one made three-pointer, per game.

Only seven minutes despite blowout Sharpe totaled one rebound in seven minutes during Monday's 124-113 victory over Charlotte.

Impact Sharpe managed just seven minutes in the victory, continuing what has been a disappointing season thus far. Despite a clear ability to score the basketball, his lack of peripheral stats and inconsistent shooting have seen him fall well off the fantasy radar. At this stage, he would need a number of other players to go down with an injury before he could be considered a pickup in standard formats.

Big minutes in loss Sharpe accumulated 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 29 minutes during Friday's 130-110 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Sharpe played almost 30 minutes, the most he's seen in over a month, but didn't do much with it. It did mark the third straight game he's scored in double-digits but he just hasn't been producing enough in other categories to be considered in standard leagues. The 19-year-old is averaging 8.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 20.3 minutes per game this season.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Only seven points in loss Sharpe posted seven points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal in 14 minutes during Thursday's 121-120 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Sharpe struggled yet again in the loss, scoring fewer than eight points for the ninth time in the past 10 games. While there have been brief flashes thus far during his rookie campaign, he simply offers very little when it comes to overall fantasy value. At this point, he should be viewed as a possible streaming candidate, and even then he comes with an element of risk.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for 16 points Sharpe tallied 16 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three rebounds in 28 minutes in Wednesday's 128-109 loss to the Lakers.

Impact The rookie lottery pick finished with his second-best scoring haul of the season while matching his point production from each of the previous five games combined. While Sharpe has shown occasional bursts of scoring while shooting 48.3 percent from the field and 38.5 percent from three-point range, his contributions in other areas of the box score are often non-existent. He's averaging just 2.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.2 steals and 0.2 blocks in 20.3 minutes per game, and he'll be a prime candidate to lose out on playing time as soon as Damian Lillard (calf) is cleared to return to the lineup.

Active Tuesday Sharpe (illness) is available to play Tuesday against the Clippers.

Impact As expected, Sharpe will be available for the Blazers on Tuesday despite battling an illness. The rookie has averaged 8.0 points and 2.4 rebounds across 19 outings this year.

Listed probable Tuesday Sharpe is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers due to an illness.

Impact Sharpe has been a late addition to the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup with a non-COVID illness. However, the guard will likely play barring any major setbacks before tipoff.

Coming off bench Wednesday Sharpe will come off the bench Wednesday against the Cavaliers, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Coach Chauncey Billups noted he wants the team to get off to a stronger start defensively, so he's inserting Justise Winslow into the starting five. Sharpe should have plenty of opportunities to get shots up while playing with the second unit during Damian Lillard's (calf) absence.

NOVEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will start for Lillard Sharpe will start Monday's game at Milwaukee in place of the injured Damian Lillard (calf), Blazers reporter Casey Holdahl reports.

Impact As expected, the rookie will move back into the starting five with Lillard once again shelved due to a calf injury. When Lillard missed four games earlier in the season, Sharpe made four consecutive starts and averaged 9.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks while shooting 47.4 percent from the field. It's unclear how much time Lillard will miss, but Sharpe figures to start at least the next two games prior to Thanksgiving. Portland is off Tuesday before playing at Cleveland on Wednesday.

Does damage from three Sharpe accumulated 20 points (7-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds across 21 minutes during Thursday's 109-107 loss to Brooklyn.

Impact Sharpe set a new season high in scoring on a strong shooting night from the field. He's looked confident from downtown over his last two games, knocking down six of eight attempts. Sharpe typically doesn't add much value outside of the scoring department, however, as he's averaged 10.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.1 assists and 0.3 steals over eight contests in November.
