Shaedon Sharp had himself a night.

The third-year wing displayed his freak athleticism and threw down the kind of dunk we wish we had seen in the Dunk Contest. The kind that causes you to gasp watching the highlight alone at home.

Shape wasn’t done, he went on to score a career-high 36 points off the bench, leading Portland to a 129-121 road win in Washington.

Jordan Poole led the Wizards with 24 in a game between teams headed to the lottery, but in Portland’s case there are some players — like Sharpe — who give the team a clear path forward to respectability, at least.
