Day'Ron Sharpe emerging as true backup center for Brooklyn Nets

Posted Mar 31, 2023
Day'Ron Sharpe is playing his best basketball. The second-year big man from North Carolina and No. 29 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft has broken into coach Jacque Vaughn’s Nets rotation — a pleasant development for a young player who had been glued to the bench. Sharpe is averaging 9.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 17.4 minutes in March. (New York Daily News)
