14 minutes of dunk highlights for a 19 year old rookie playing half a season. This kid is unique

Yep HUGE FAIL snubbing Sharpe but including G-fucking-League players! 🤔

[@mikeposner8563]

@@DPR-GENX I agree but they aren't just plain old g-league players. They are top prospects who are about to be lottery picks, and they get a chance to play with and against their future competition. I love it. We got to see a completely unknown g-league Dyson Daniels in it last year. BUT with all that being said, Shaedon easily deserves to be one of the 7 rookies put on the team, and it's absolutely preposterous that he's not.

[@FatherFirst]

@rashawn rock I think he's going to find his footing this season. And more than likely start at the 2 while Ant is down and being relied on for offense is going to really open him up to understanding what he's capable of at this level. That's my hope. He has all the ability in the world. It's just a matter of him having the confidence in himself and the confidence of his teammates to really allow him to take a step forward offensively.

[@golden-sun]

Love shaedon. I really hope we never trade him. We'd have to get a big time player back

[@qxuzjaekquxq_99]

The graceful elevation is a thing of beauty, but more variety and panache in the finishing would be good to see. Style counts for something and with his special talent he can easily add this to his repertoire.

how crazy is a rookie playing half the season of the bench having 14 minutes of amazing dunks. Human highlight reel. He also has a bag of other things that are not dunking. He's raw but give him a bit of time and im telling you he will be a star.

[@cavebabybeserkers2763]

Hes not raw. Hes incredibly polished. Technical player. Hes about to be unleashed after the all star game

[@jodiwhite1689]

very good point. He just has the look , the quiet confidence, plus the most important thing to me, the way the other players look at him even on other teams, they all know they are looking at a future star. Lillard has known even before the season started he was just different.

[@tylerminson4104]

He is the future of the NBA

[@SKshowbassketball]

💯

[@Louiecat178]

Shame on the NBA for not having him in the rising stars game! He has 0 plays run thru him and he comes off the bench to play not even 20 mins a night! Now the trades have happened he playing more and in the last 4 games, has doubled his scoring! If he was on the Magic he'd be playing 38 min a game running all the plays thru him, unlike portland! Everyone would see what a huge talent he is! He can do it all not just dunk!

[@SpaceTimeManipulatorSTM]

Hasn't even really done any trick dunks or reverses or anything like that but yet he's undoubtedly one of the very best dunkers in the league.

Elite combination of size and jumping ability. Would like to see how teams use that and how he improves.

Ong that boy goes through the stratosphere

[@jumpmaninspired]

Nobody in the NBA is currently jumping as high and quick as Shaedon. Ja makes his dunks look spicy and he's got bounce but Sharpe is on the level of Kobe, Jordan, and Bron when it comes to bounce.

[@CriceTHR]

Kobe's bounce wasn't that good

[@joachim7]

Better than Kobe

[@jumpmaninspired]

@@CriceTHR You never saw Kobe play I take it.

[@mani-wj6uk]

@@jumpmaninspired Kobe didn't have a 40"+ vertical, but LeBron and MJ did. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Shaedon had a higher vertical than all of them since he's slightly shorter.

[@jumpmaninspired]

@@mani-wj6uk Kobe had unreal bounce bro. He didn't care to to jump through the gym everytime though because he was more focused on winning than jumping. Watch some Kobe highlights of him reverse windmill in traffic while ducking underneath the rim and tell me he didn't have unreal bounce. Shaedon has the height of Jordan bunnies but not the length yet, mind you he is still 19 years old though. I agree though that Shaedon might possibly get better leaps than Jordan or Lebron eventually when he is in his mid 20's. Jordan had the highest vert ever recorded in the NBA until Shaedon though.
