“I practice. I'm in the gym a lot, so whatever shot I shoot, I've seen it before in workouts or in runs,” Shaedon Sharpe told RG pregame in Cleveland last week. For what Portland needs, Sharpe’s mindset is welcomed. “I never look at field goals. That's too vague,” Blazers acting head coach Tiago Splitter said to RG in his pregame press conference. “You've got to see what happens in the game. What was a bad shot? What was a good shot? Sometimes, if you take 30 shots in a game and they were good shots, that's fine. Sometimes, you make four shots, and they're all bad shots; that's not good. So, it doesn't say everything, the number of field goals. So you've got to be careful with that [when judging].”
Splitter wants Sharpe to ambush the opposition, and the same applies to Deni Avdija and Jerami Grant. “Those guys have talent; we need them to be aggressive,” Splitter said. “So, I don't see just a number. I see the game, I see what they're doing, and if it's the right shot for that particular play.”
“I feel like we're a defensive-focused team, so really whatever I can do to help the team,” Sharpe said. “I feel like it came along pretty good. I've just got to get better at really guarding and being more focused, I guess. Film always helps with that, so just watching film and really studying what other guys like to do.”
