The SB Nation NBA sites conducted a mock draft last week and The Bird Writes selected guard Shaedon Sharpe from the University of Kentucky.
No prospect that’s expected to get selected in the lottery oozes more boom or bust potential than Shaedon Sharpe. The 18-year-old rocketed up draft boards after his play last summer to become the No. 1 recruit of the 2022 high school graduating class before getting reclassified after enrolling early at the University of Kentucky. Since then, he hasn’t played a lick of competitive basketball, making it extremely hard to evaluate and rank him.
