Bradley Beal and Devin Booker are two of the best shooting guards in the NBA. Wichita (Kan.) Dream City Christian five-star guard Shaedon Sharpe is hoping he can one day join them among the best of the best in the NBA

Sharpe — the No. 1 overall player in the 2022 On3 Top 100 — told Krysten Peek of Yahoo Sports that Beal and Booker are the two players he most models his game after.

“I feel like I play a lot like them,” he said.

Shaedon Sharpe will follow in Booker’s footsteps by playing his college ball at Kentucky. He committed to Kentucky on Sept. 7.

It was recently reported that Sharpe is considering enrolling at Kentucky this forthcoming January for the spring semester. He would not play for the Wildcats this season, but instead use the time to get stronger in the weight room and practice with the team.

Sharpe did not address his potential early enrollment but did say he is excited to play in college.

“Just the fans and the energy and playing amongst the greatest out there,” Shaedon Sharpe said.

He is excited to play for head coach John Calipari and learn from him.

During Peach Jam this summer, Sharpe played in front of NBA scouts and said he was looking to prove to them that he can play at the highest level and that he is a “dawg.”

Sharpe also played in front on LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony.

“It was a great experience,” Shaedon Sharpe said. “Playing in front of LeBron James and Carmelo is just an amazing experience.”
