Shaedon Sharpe contributed 17 points, six rebounds, and two three-pointers in Portland’s preseason win over the Kings. His shooting prowess, with a 51.7% success rate in two exhibition games, has been a promising sign for the Trail Blazers. As he approaches a pivotal season, Portland faces a decision on his rookie extension before October 20, with Sharpe potentially becoming a restricted free agent next summer if no deal is reached.
