On Thursday night, former UNC Basketball player Day’Ron Sharpe could hear his name called in the 2021 NBA draft.

The 19-year-old Sharpe spent the off-season training, impressing NBA scouts, and raising his NBA stock with numerous clips of him working on his craft.

In Sharpe’s freshman season he proved that he was not only worth his five-star recruitment status, but also that he was one of the top bigs in the nation.
