Everything is going very fast in the NBA. Little used since the start of the season (23 “DNP” in 33 matches in 2021), Day’Ron Sharpe has seen his role with the Nets grow since the start of the new year. For good reason, the physical glitches encountered by Nicolas Claxton and DeAndre Jordan on the job, and the upcoming departure of Paul Millsap, often used as a pivot during the rare times Steve Nash called on him.
Established for six games, the rookie from North Carolina college seized his chance perfectly: 20 points and 7 rebounds against Chicago, a double-double (12 points and 10 rebounds) against the Pelicans, or 10 rebounds in 14 minutes , last night during Brooklyn’s win over San Antonio.
Steve Nash, more or less by default in the face of injuries, gave him his confidence and note from his player’s rapid progress : “ He understands the NBA game better, which is different from college since there is more space here. You have to be able to cover spaces, to defend players in these spaces. […] I think he did a good job of reading, he uses his physique but also his brain. He understands the game well. His progress is fast because he has a natural understanding of all these things.“
After the entire matches on the bench and the passages in G-League, Day’Ron Sharpe therefore finally really tastes the NBA, in the five major of the best team in the East, what is more.
” I did not even imagine that I was going to start a match this season. recognizes the pivot. ” I thought I was going to come off the bench to bring a spark, but never that I was going to start. It’s a dream to play in the NBA and start in a team built to play for the title. I’m not content to just be on the field, I participate in the victories, I contribute. It’s a nice feeling.“
