Analysis of the technical characteristics of Daroon Sharp, will he be the Clippers substitute center?

Derone Sharp

EPM -0.1, LEBRON 0.8, BPM 0.9

The defensive end has interception and frame protection, and has strong front panel ability and certain support attributes.

The top frontcourt rebounding beast in the league, the top personal frontcourt rebounding rate of all year round is not to mention. In the past three years, Sharp has been able to soar 11.3% as long as he is present. What is the concept of

?

The following is the comparison of the influence of frontcourt rebounds between Sharp and the well-known "frontcourt machines" in the league in the past three years.

against the Celtics in a single game with 10 front boards; against the Pacers in a single game with 9 front boards; against the Clippers in a single game with 8 front boards; against the Thunder 7 front boards. They are all Sharp's masterpieces this season.

When facing centers such as Possus, Chett, and Turner, who are not sturdy in size or are not as solid in the lower set, Sharp can use his advantage in confrontation and positioning to cooperate with his excellent frontcourt rebounding and sniffing the frontboard. The tip-in after grabbing the frontcourt rebound is also Sharp's most relied on scoring on the offensive end.

However, due to the limitation of the ending ability at the basket, Sharp has the same problem as Zhuang Shen and Capela: he can get a lot of tip-offs and ending opportunities under the basket with his fierce frontcourt rebounding vitality, but he cannot fill the ball into the basket with high efficiency.

Although Sharp's tip-in efficiency is still higher than Capela and Zhuang Shen, he is only at the middle and lower levels of the same position. In addition, Sharp's ending method is:

and pick-and-roll.

Sharp's pick-and-roll reception efficiency throughout his career is OK, but this season's pick-and-roll reception efficiency has ushered in an avalanche, and both frequency and efficiency are the worst in his career. Scoring 0.92 per round is also the countdown to the center.

The end after receiving the ball in the penalty area or ghost area and after receiving the ball in the empty cut.

Sharp's low-post offensive habit in college was also retained in the NBA. No matter which season of his career, Sharp has a certain role in offensive position at a low post. But the overall low efficiency is relatively poor.

Although it is generally the positioning of a final center, Sharp is not a pure final center like Capela who does not touch the ball at all. On the contrary, his ball possession time, number of touches in the front court, and assists are all upstream in the same position.

Sharp is able to send 3.6 assists every 36 minutes this season.

Sharp's transmission and control data in the past few years have also shown an upward trend year by year.

But control errors are something Sharp needs to pay attention to, his real assist-loss ratio is only at the lower level of the average line at the same position.

At the Nets, Sharp will have many scenes of getting the ball online:

For example, in this round, he will first play the role of a dealer in the elbow area, and then join hands with Hayes who came up with Pin Down after finishing Flex Screen for Huang Zhong.

and the defender started handing over.

includes some processing for 4 to 3 on the way.

Occasionally, some passes are stunning. The biggest problem with Sharp's offensive end is inefficiency. As a final center with a large number of shots focused on the paint area, the real hit rate is only 56.9%.

Although he can rely on his terrifying front-board fighting ability and tip-off frequency to play first-class basket finishing frequency at the same position, he cannot efficiently put the ball into the basket.

Sharp's close-frame end this season has made great progress compared to his previous seasons. He has also increased efficiency while adding production, but the efficiency is still not considerable enough and has not reached the average level of the same position.

Due to the inefficiency at the basket, Sharp began to try to develop towards a "diversified" and "space-based" route, and this season's three-point shooting was the most in his career. But the output is extremely low and very inaccurate. On the defensive end, Sharp made great progress in interception and making mistakes this season, and made first-class interception data at the same position.

steal rate soared nearly double to 1.9%, with the third place in the center. He can also rank 10th in the center by interfering with the live ball every 36 minutes.

Sharp's defensive end is that he can perform both interception, errors and frame protection. Sharp this season is one of the best center players in the league with interception and frame protection.

can also implement some strategies of pinch or delay, or even switch defenses on the defensive end.

When Sharp was on the court this season, the Nets lost 9.5 points less per 100 rounds, and the defense ON-OFF team has the highest internal break. This figure was also -7.7% last season.

For example, some interceptions for passing:

Occasionally, there are some rounds where pinch attacks directly cause mistakes:

Having the top interception performance in the same position and excellent frame protection efficiency, it is his biggest selling point.

frame protection reserve requirement ratio reduction rate -6.2, and the cap rate is 18.8%, but the frame protection frequency is relatively low.

Sharp's obvious disadvantages are the control of fouls and the performance of defensive rebounds is completely incomparable to the front board. He played defensive rebounds last season, but this season returned to his career average. This season's defensive rebounding rate is only around the average of the same position. Although the influence is not negative, the team's backcourt rebounding rate has increased by slimly compared to being present in the past three years.

Flashback moment

In general, Sharp has quite distinctive defense, and has the ability to intercept, make mistakes and frame protection are the biggest highlights.

At the same time, his mobility is better than that of those big men who can only retreat.

But the absolute height is limited, the defensive rebound protection is mediocre, and the defensive control ability also needs to be improved. The advantage of the offensive end lies in the crazy front-end battle and certain supporting attributes.

But the flaw is that it is impossible to do a good job in the final center. The ending at the basket and overall efficiency are the pain points of the entire career.

Sharp also has a huge advantage in his age, and he is still very young.

Even though he has completed a 4-year rookie contract, he is only 23 years old so far, which is similar to some older and more combat-oriented in this year's draft. He is two years younger than Kobe Brown and Jordan Miller.

This means that he still has a certain "plasticity". His progress in support skills year by year and the progress ending in the near-frame area this season can all prove this.

But for teams who want to get Sharp, Sharp's restricted free agent status can be a headache. The Nets can directly match the contract given by the next company, thus forcibly leaving Sharp.
