UNC Basketball: Day’Ron Sharpe puts together G-League record performance

Playing for the Long Island Nets of the G-League, former UNC basketball standout Day’Ron Sharpe put together a record-setting performance in his most recent outing.

The G-League provides players an opportunity to improve their game while making their respective cases to earn an opportunity to play in the NBA.

For former UNC basketball standout Day’Ron Sharpe, the rookie big man has earned some minutes for the Brooklyn Nets but has also seen a little time with the Long Island Nets as well.

In his most recent outing in the G-League, Sharpe showcased how much of a dominant force he could be in the paint.

Playing against the Westchester Knicks, put up an insane stat line of 30 points and 22 rebounds. He became just the second G-League player to put together a 30-20 double-double performance this season.

Sharpe thrived on the offensive glass, as 15 of his 22 boards came on the offensive side of the court. This mark sets a new G-League record for most offensive rebounds in a single game.

During his short time in Chapel Hill, UNC basketball fans got to see just how effective Sharpe was in rebounding the basketball. His physical presence is tough for opponents to get past, and he has a tremendous ability to read the ball off the rim in order to collect the rebound.

With performances like this, Sharpe will show the Brooklyn Nets that he should be there for good. Until that time comes, the former UNC basketball standout will look to make the most of his playing opportunities, wherever they may come.
