Sharpe Steps Into Starting Role | Brooklyn Nets News
Description
The Brooklyn Nets just pulled off a major trade, sending Nic Claxton to the Bulls for Julius Randle, paving the way for Day’Ron Sharpe to take over as starting center in 2026-27. Signed to a two-year, $20M deal, Sharpe’s been grinding in the gym this summer, transforming his body and mindset — and GM Sean Marks is thrilled. After two years as a reliable bench contributor — averaging nearly 9 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists in under 20 minutes — Sharpe’s improved conditioning and playmaking make him a perfect fit for the Nets’ new defensive identity. With Sharpe and potential backup Moe Wagner, the Nets are building a gritty, physical frontcourt designed to disrupt opponents and energize the whole team. Sharpe’s time to shine is now.
