Posted Oct 17, 2023
Former UNC forward Day'Ron Sharpe is coming into his third NBA season, possibly a make-or-break year. And with the Nets playing more drop-coverage, he was itching to state his case for playing time. Monday was his delayed first chance, and he didn’t disappoint. He was one of the bright spots in a 127-119 loss to Philadelphia, imposing on the boards. (New York Post)
