With the seventh overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, the Portland Trail Blazers stepped up to the mic and selected former Kentucky Wildcats guard Shaedon Sharpe. While Sharpe will forever be linked to Lexington, he did not appear in a single game for the Wildcats.
Though fans were hoping to see that widely discussed potential in the Las Vegas Summer League, which Sharpe was set to play in, they were quickly let down. Sharpe was diagnosed with a small labral tear in his left shoulder, per ESPN.
