As far as making a statement for playing time, that one was pretty hard to ignore.
“Yeah, what [Sharpe] is doing is — and I tell him — you just want to be on the minds of the coaches when they’re thinking about who we’re going to put in. You want to be in that sentence. And he’s there,” said Nets coach Jacque Vaughn, who expects to get seven of those eight players back Monday versus Washington. “What he does — which is what helped him in this game — was the offensive rebounds compared to the fouling. So, he was in great position.
“I got out at the beginning of the season,” Sharpe said. “But that was like a month long and I just kept working, been in the weight room, running, playing hard, played hard in the G-League games that I played in. I thought that all was preparation for [this]. So I just stayed ready, kept working.” “I’d say we already got the confidence; it’s all about opportunity, and just being ready,” Sharpe said. “[This] was all our opportunity. Just stay ready, show the Brooklyn team that even though guys do go down, you’ve still got the young guys who can come in and help out step up.” While Turner has been a favorite of fan-concocted trade scenarios, Sharpe held him to 16 points, just three rebounds and a lone block.
And robbed of the scoring punch of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, who make the hard baskets look easy, Sharpe’s hard work actually made easy baskets. The Nets’ 37 second-chance points were tied for the second-most since the stat has been tracked, one behind New Orleans versus Phoenix back in Nov. 19, 2009.
