With the seventh pick in the 2022 NBA draft, the Trail Blazers selected Shaedon Sharpe out of Kentucky. Sharpe reclassified in high school to graduate in 2021 instead of 2022. That’s why Sharpe was eligible to be drafted in 2022 by Portland. Shaedon Sharpe attended Kentucky but did not see any action on the court. During his NBA career, Sharpe has played three seasons for the Trail Blazers.
He’s played in 184 career games and made 92 starts. In 2024-25, Shaedon Sharpe started a career-high 52 games for Portland. Additionally, his 18.5 points per game were a new personal best. During his 2024-25 campaign, Sharpe’s .311 three-point percentage was the worst of his career thus far. Throughout his first three seasons, Shaedon Sharpe has been incosistent on offense and has had lapses on defense.
