2025 Fantasy Outlook
The 2024-25 season proved somewhat fruitful for Sharpe, despite his playing just 50 games. When healthy, Sharpe flashed upside on both ends of the court, averaging 7.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.6 combined steals and blocks in just 18.1 minutes per game, all career-high marks. Fresh off signing a new two-year deal to remain with the Nets, Sharpe will likely serve as the primary backup behind Nic Claxton once again. While this does limit his overall appeal, it is a situation to monitor given the seemingly persistent trade rumors regarding Claxton. Brooklyn is likely to be at the bottom of the standings once again, making the rotation tough to nail down. Should Sharpe ever step into a consistent and sizeable role, the question would then be whether his elite per-minute production can translate into sustainable output. Read Past Outlooks

March 10, 2026
Sharpe won't play in Tuesday's game against Detroit due to a left thumb sprain, per Brian Lewis of the New York Post.
ANALYSIS
Sharpe is sitting out for the first time since the Jan. 19 loss to the Suns. Danny Wolf and Ochai Agbaji should both see more playing time in the frontcourt in the absence of Sharpe on Tuesday.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2021
Sharpe saw a slightly increased role for Brooklyn in 2023-24, averaging 6.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.7 blocks in 15.1 minutes across 61 appearances, including one start. The 22-year-old big man posted career highs across the board while also shooting 57.1 percent from the field. However, he also converted just 61.0 percent of his 2.0 free-throw attempts per contest and doesn't have much of an outside jumper. Sharpe has also struggled with availability throughout his career, as his 61 appearances last year were actually the most in his three years in the NBA. Next season, Sharpe is slated to be the Nets' backup center to Nic Claxton, who just signed a four-year, $100 million extension this offseason. Unless there is an injury to Claxton, Sharpe's main fantasy value will come from his rebounding, efficient shooting and shot-blocking as a late-round option in deeper leagues.
Sharpe failed to make any significant progress during his sophomore season, playing fewer minutes per game than he did in his rookie campaign. In just 11.5 minutes per game, he compiled averages of 4.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.7 blocks. Although he has shown glimpses of having a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, the Nets simply haven't needed him to play meaningful minutes. Nic Claxton is locked in as the long-term starter in Brooklyn, coming off his best season as a professional. The Nets also selected Noah Clowney in the 2023 draft, only complicating matters for Sharpe. If he were to ever land a significant role, Sharpe would be an intriguing addition given his per-minute upside. However, that appears unlikely given what we have seen over the past two years, making him an afterthought in standard formats.
The Nets are paper thin at the center position, meaning Sharpe could sniff 12-team value this season or at least be on the radar for those in deeper formats. Nic Claxton figures to start, and while he should log up to 30 minutes per night, injuries and foul issues have been a constant source of frustration in the past. If he does miss any length of time this season, Sharpe could step into a more significant role, albeit on a short-term basis.
Sharpe was selected by the Nets with the 29th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. During his freshman season at North Carolina, the 19-year-old averaged 9.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.9 blocks across 19.2 minutes per game. He's a traditional big man -- an excellent rebounder and good screen-and-roll option. He showed off his impressive offensive rebounding in Summer League, grabbing 3.8 offensive boards per game in just 20.2 minutes. This season, he might struggle to find a consistent role. The Nets shored up their center rotation and have LaMarcus Aldridge, Paul Millsap, Blake Griffin and Nicolas Claxton. It will be tough for Sharpe to play well enough to see minutes over any of those options.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Linked to Lakers
CBrooklyn Nets
January 29, 2026
The Lakers have expressed interest in acquiring Sharpe before the Feb. 5 trade deadline, according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com.
ANALYSIS
Sharpe's physicality, rim protection and rebounding skills are appealing to contending teams, and the Lakers could use another reliable center outside of Deandre Ayton. Sharpe is averaging 7.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.4 blocks per game this season. The Lakers could try to make a deal directly with the Nets, but it wouldn't be surprising if Los Angeles acquires Sharpe as part of a bigger deal involving more teams.
