The Trail Blazers made their pick at No. 7 in the 2022 NBA draft making a swing for a superstar with the selection of Shaedon Sharpe, a teenager who did not play a minute of college basketball en route to becoming a top ten pick.Sharpe has superstar potential but has a long way to go to fulfill that potential and isn't likely to be a Year 1 contributor on a team with playoff aspirations. We break down his massive offensive upside and why he's worth a risk at seven.In the second segment we acknowledge both the inherent risks with drafting a mystery man with no college tape to scout and also the challenge of adding an upside play who will needed some seasoning to a team on a win-now timeline. The Blazers are trying to do raft on two adjacent streams. The waters might get choppy for a bit.Portland also draft Jabari Walker in the second round. We break down his game and look at the Blazers post-draft to try to figure out what's next. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
