Sharpe still has time to win over the FO with the "human component" and the competitiveness. But if the draft were today, they aint taking him. From there, it will come down to falling in love with multiple guys. They love Dieng, but they could fall back to 12 and SA could take him at 9. I dont think Washington or NY takes him, but SA very well could. So, if they do and Washington and NY go Sochen and Griffin, there wouldnt be anybody they really love at 12.
Why I say, you take Sharpe, and then let teams know you are willing to talk trade but it will all depend what is left on the board. Have OKC give you their best offer, keep squeezing them for those 15 minutes, and then see who is on the board at 12. If Dieng is still there, you act like you will reluctantly take the deal. If all your guys are gone, keep Sharpe and WORST case scenario, you develop the heck out of him, he average 35 a game in the G League there, showing off all the raw skills and he is a major trade asset next summer
