3 athletic combo guards who each have shown flashes of stardom. Sharpe is 20 while Ivey and Green are 21. Which of these guys are you taking to build a team around?
2023-24 season stats
Green: 19/4/3 with 2.3 TOV on 40/37/79 splits (54% TS)
Sharpe: 19/6/4 with 3.5 TOV on 41/33/82 splits (53.4% TS)
Ivey: 11/2/3 with 2.2 TOV on 52/39/80 splits (63% TS). He is coming off the bench this year but averaged 16/4/5 on 53% TS last year as a rookie
Sharpe is being forced to run Point with our injuries and also has a sprained wrist himself. Just trying to explain his crazy turnover numbers.
Scoot and Simons being out is tough
Jalen Green > Jaden Ivey >>> Shaedon Sharpe
This is why you aren’t an NBA GM
Sharpe has a much higher ceiling I think and his turnovers would be a lot less if our other guards Simons, Brogdon, and Scoot weren’t injured, not to mention that he’d also have better spacing and probably more efficient shooting numbers.
Sharpe/Jalen…Ivey
Sharpe has the biggest frame and can finish thru contact. He’s a prototypical SG and that alone separates him from the other two. Once the Blazers figure out their PG situation, he’ll look better.
Jalen looks like he’s figuring things out. His defensive awareness has grown significantly under the new look Rockets. I think his best position will be “scoring point guard” next to a passing big man ala Fox and Jamal Murray. There his quickness will be a supreme asset in defending other point guards.
Ivey: Bro’s stuck in just about the worst roster for his play style.
Ivey probably last because of Monte Williams
nope!
I’m not convinced on any of them
I dunno but how tf is Ivey only playing 20 minutes a night?
He played at Purdue. Something unfortunate has to happen to his development
Don’t really get the Jalen Green hype ngl. Still seems like an inefficient scorer who doesn’t do much else on the court
I really hope the Rockets don’t make the mistake in doubling down with Jalen and instead pivot to making a roster to fully support Sengun.
Jalen is still looking like a rookie out there at times…he is still an inefficient scorer with nothing else really going on.
Because the third option is Ivey.
Green, Ivey, Sharpe
Sharpe
Just say you want to start a war between Rockets and Portland fans
Nah we haven’t had beef with them in ages
Why didn’t you add giddey?
It’s a little unfair comparing 2nd year player to 3rd year player ?
