Polar Opposites?


Is it me, or are our two draftees shaping up to be polar opposites?

Obviously this comparison is flawed due to Sharpes injury and his lack of playing here thus far, while not a good look, is not his fault.

That said, we have a player who spend the past year playing as little as possible vs a player who does as much as is (efficiently) possible all the time.

One player selfishly riding on their hype, the other demonstrating the he understands how to put the team first.

Our league is obsessed with physical talents and it shows in the draft every year but those aren't always the players that make a real difference on a team. I for one am skeptical about hype and much prefer to bank on Bball IQ and work ethic.

Walker has all that and I'm excited for him. With Sharpe, I'm still holding my fingers crossed in hopes that he steps up and proves to be a real baller and not a poser. From Dame's comments at the first summer league, I think he might feel the same way.
