Impact The Trail Blazers need to tread carefully with its depleted backcourt, so it was no surprise to see Sharpe take a seat with the game out of hand. The lopsided total gave the Trail Blazers an opportunity to give their third unit additional playing time as they search for alternative sets in the rotation to minimize the heavy load assumed by the starting five.

Considering the Trail Blazers are fully committed to a rebuilding process, that should give Sharpe lots of chances to play meaningful minutes as well. The 20-year-old has scored at least 20 points in three of his four games as a starter.

Pops for 14 in Monday's start Sharpe ended Monday's 99-91 victory over Toronto with 14 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 38 minutes.

Impact With Anfernee Simons (thumb) sidelined, Sharpe has started three straight games and been productive, averaging 19.3 points, 5.0 boards, 2.7 threes, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals a night. He's had to carry the load in the Portland backcourt while rookie Scoot Henderson adjusts to the NBA, even though the 20-year-old Sharpe is only in his second campaign himself, and the result so far has been a breakout pace.

Goes for 20 points in blowout loss Sharpe posted 20 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 126-98 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Sharpe moved to the starting lineup after Anfernee Simons went down with a thumb injury that will keep him out for several weeks, and the former has adjusted well to the challenge by scoring at least 20 points in each of his two games with the first unit. Sharpe needs to take better care of the ball after posting a 2:3 assist-to-turnover ratio in those outings, an issue that becomes even more noticeable with the struggles of Scoot Henderson, but all things considered, Sharpe is trending in the right direction and remains valuable as a scoring weapon for a rebuilding Trail Blazers club.

Impact Anfernee Simons (thumb) will be out for over.a month, but the Trail Blazers have a lot of confidence in Sharpe, who distinguished himself with a standout rookie campaign. Even with a healthy backcourt, Sharpe was slated to be an integral part of a rebuild in the wake of Damian Lillard's departure. His usage will now exceed projections well into November.

Impact Sharpe made 80 appearances (15 starts) for Portland last season and averaged 9.9 points and 3.0 rebounds in 22.2 minutes per game. He was competing for a starting role during the preseason, but coach Chauncey Billups indicated Monday that he's "pretty set" on putting Matisse Thybulle into the starting lineup for the start of the regular season. However, Sharpe should still have an opportunity to carve out a relatively consistent role off the bench.

Impact Sharpe showcased his usual explosiveness, taking off near the free throw line for one of his dunks in the fourth quarter.
