The 2024-25 season proved somewhat fruitful for Sharpe, despite his playing just 50 games. When healthy, Sharpe flashed upside on both ends of the court, averaging 7.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.6 combined steals and blocks in just 18.1 minutes per game, all career-high marks. Fresh off signing a new two-year deal to remain with the Nets, Sharpe will likely serve as the primary backup behind Nic Claxton once again. While this does limit his overall appeal, it is a situation to monitor given the seemingly persistent trade rumors regarding Claxton. Brooklyn is likely to be at the bottom of the standings once again, making the rotation tough to nail down. Should Sharpe ever step into a consistent and sizeable role, the question would then be whether his elite per-minute production can translate into sustainable output. Read Past Outlooks

Sharpe totaled 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 19 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 119-101 victory over New Orleans.
ANALYSIS The fifth-year center scored in double digits for a second straight game, marking the first time all season he's accomplished even that modest feat.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Sharpe failed to make any significant progress during his sophomore season, playing fewer minutes per game than he did in his rookie campaign. In just 11.5 minutes per game, he compiled averages of 4.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.7 blocks. Although he has shown glimpses of having a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, the Nets simply haven't needed him to play meaningful minutes. Nic Claxton is locked in as the long-term starter in Brooklyn, coming off his best season as a professional. The Nets also selected Noah Clowney in the 2023 draft, only complicating matters for Sharpe. If he were to ever land a significant role, Sharpe would be an intriguing addition given his per-minute upside. However, that appears unlikely given what we have seen over the past two years, making him an afterthought in standard formats.
The Nets are paper thin at the center position, meaning Sharpe could sniff 12-team value this season or at least be on the radar for those in deeper formats. Nic Claxton figures to start, and while he should log up to 30 minutes per night, injuries and foul issues have been a constant source of frustration in the past. If he does miss any length of time this season, Sharpe could step into a more significant role, albeit on a short-term basis.
Sharpe was selected by the Nets with the 29th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. During his freshman season at North Carolina, the 19-year-old averaged 9.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.9 blocks across 19.2 minutes per game. He's a traditional big man -- an excellent rebounder and good screen-and-roll option. He showed off his impressive offensive rebounding in Summer League, grabbing 3.8 offensive boards per game in just 20.2 minutes. This season, he might struggle to find a consistent role. The Nets shored up their center rotation and have LaMarcus Aldridge, Paul Millsap, Blake Griffin and Nicolas Claxton. It will be tough for Sharpe to play well enough to see minutes over any of those options.

ANALYSIS Sharpe signed a two-year, $12.5 million contract with the Nets, which includes a team option for the second year. Coming off a breakout 2024-25 regular-season where he averaged 7.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 0.8 blocks and 0.8 steals in 18.1 minutes per game, Sharpe has solidified himself as a valuable rotational big. Waiving the no-trade clause also makes him a more flexible trade chip if Brooklyn decides to explore deals. His youth, upside, and team-friendly contract make him an intriguing long-term asset for both the Nets and potential suitors.
