Sharpe was the seventh-overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft this past summer and is averaging 9.3 points and 2.5 rebounds per contest in his first 13 NBA games.   

He is playing a key role on one of the best teams in the NBA because the Trail Blazers entered the night with the best record in the Western Conference.

They are currently 10-4 in their first 14 games and 6-2 in eight games at home in Oregon.  

The best game of Sharpe's young career came on Nov. 9 in North Carolina against the Charlotte Hornets. 

He put up 17 points and four rebounds on an impressive 7/10 shooting in 29 minutes of playing time.
