Brooklyn Nets middle Day’ron Sharpe is likely one of the younger gamers that the group is hoping will grow to be a part of the rotation when the playoffs come round. The second-year participant out of UNC is likely one of the Nets’ true bigs and in consequence, could also be relied upon to offer high quality minutes if Brooklyn doesn’t make a transfer for an additional massive to extend the depth within the frontcourt.

Nonetheless, in an article published by Bleacher Report on Saturday, it was prompt that the Nets mustn’t wait round for Sharpe to search out his method on the court docket. With Brooklyn trying to win a title this season earlier than addressing the attainable uncertainty coming this offseason, B/R believes that Brooklyn ought to discover a strategy to unload Sharpe inside any commerce that they pull off earlier than the deadline.

Sharpe, who’s averaging 3.5 factors and three.0 rebounds per recreation whereas capturing 52.4% from the sector, has spent a superb quantity of this season with the Nets’ G-League affiliate, the Lengthy Island Nets.
