Shaedon Sharpe played 34 minutes in Sunday’s 107-98 loss to the Lakers, accounting for 19 points (7-of-15 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, and two 3-pointers.
Rostered in 37% of Yahoo leagues, Sharpe is ranked just outside the top 200 in 9-cat formats over the past two weeks. Portland’s lack of shooting guards is likely what keeps Sharpe as highly rostered as he is since he’s essentially guaranteed to play starters’ minutes. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, his elite athleticism has not translated to the defensive end, where Sharpe provides little steals or blocks value.
