DETROIT PISTONS— PF Water Sharpe, UAB : ‧ Sharpe only played 12 games last year for the Blazers and averaged 14.2 : points and 6.8 rebounds as well as 1.8 blocks. His assist-to-turnover ratio : was an abysmal 1 to 1.7. : The Pistons apparently took a flyer on a guy who has a lot of athleticism but : could be a project. : http://tinyurl.com/66vyxg The promise rapidly morphed into disappointment. Sharpe could never get his act together, as he had multiple issues from tardiness to academics. Despite missing a team flight to a tournament in California in December of ‘04, and skipping a practice, thus being left home for the NCAA tournament in March of ‘05, the door of chances was still open for the kid. During Sharpe’s sophomore year with the Bulldogs, he missed the beginning of the season due to academic ineligibility and only ended up dressing out six games (averaging 9.3 points and 5.0 boards) before ultimately being dismissed from the team in January of ‘06. Missing another practice was the final straw. Next stop: UAB. Before even making it to UAB, Walter Sharpe was shot with a tiny bullet in the stomach in April 2006. Curiously, he tried to deny he was shot and attempted to hide his wound from police and medics. In August of 2007, Sharpe was one of five UAB Blazers arrested for disorderly conduct after a night on the town in Birmingham. UAB head coach, Mike Davis, credited the arrest with bringing his team together. No word if other college coaches have caught onto this phenomenon. After sitting out a year and finally suiting up for the Blazers, Walter Sharpe averaged 14.2 points and 6.8 rebounds in UAB’s first 12 games of the 07-08 season. However, in January of 2008, Sharpe was declared academically ineligible for the rest of the year. He was subsequently been diagnosed with narcolepsy, which has been used as an excuse for academic woes. Sharpe had hopes to receive treatment and suit up for the Blazers in 2008-2009, but for one reason or another, opted to declare for the NBA draft instead. -- 奇怪的人生？ --
