Last year there were some Blazers fans who felt Shaedon Sharpe got snubbed from the Rising Stars game, but that won’t be the case this season. Sharpe has missed the past 10 games with a thigh injury, but he will be at All Star Weekend. For the season, Sharpe is averaging 15.9 points and 5 rebounds per game.
