The Trail Blazers have three capable players for two backcourt spots, but given Anfernee Simons' impressive numbers in 2023-24, it seems Sharpe will battle with Scoot Henderson to operate as Simons' guard pairing. Henderson struggled with efficiency as a rookie, so don't be surprised if Sharpe wins the battle, although he'll have to stay healthy to do so, and that has been a big "if" throughout his first two years in The Association. The signs of progress are clear in terms of pure numbers, though. Sharpe averaged 15.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 0.9 steals across 33.1 minutes per game, all career-high marks, across 32 appearances (25 starts). If Sharpe stays healthy, he should see enough minutes and touches to be a reliable fantasy asset regardless of his role. However, Sharpe's status for the start of the campaign is in danger due to a shoulder injury sustained at the beginning of training camp. Sharpe should be targeted as a mid-to-late-round option across all formats solely based on his scoring potential, and he should be an even better player to target in dynasty formats.
