clearly Shaedon Sharpe prefers offense to defense. But the winger knows he will have to start…
“I prefer to attack”, smiles the 22-year-old. “But defense is also part of the game.” So against the Warriors, Chauncey Billups threw it at Golden State’s ball carriers. First set up on Brandin Podziemski, he also had to shadow Buddy Hield in sequences, or even Stephen Curry.
“We could have put Jrue (Holiday) on all the best players (with the ball).”Chauncey Billups added. “But I wanted to challenge Shaedon.
And the result was positive in the eyes of the coach, who was satisfied with the efforts of his Canadian outfielder.
“I saw a great level of concentration. I thought he was very good, very focused defensively tonight, and so I continue to challenge him by putting him against certain opponents.” continues the technician.
“The prospect is quite terrifying”
Donovan Klingan, Jeremy Grant and Danny Avdia also praised their teammate’s efforts.
“I would simply say pride”answered the Israeli what Sheddon Sharp improved the most defensively. “I get the impression that he wants to defend, that he’s more physical, more aggressive on defense, that he takes more pride in playing defensively. He’s got potential, he’s athletic, he’s very talented and he’s got very good instincts. So I think it’s a really big step for him.”
“He has no limits, to be honest. If he stays consistent, and is consistent on both sides of the court and has the same weight on offense as he does on defense, the prospect is pretty scary.” Deni Avdija concludes.
