Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe left off HoopsHype's top-27 NBA centers list

Summary

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe has not been included in HoopsHype's top-27 centers list ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season. This ranking comes as Sharpe is expected to start for the Nets after Nic Claxton was traded to the Chicago Bulls. Sharpe averaged 8.7 points and 6.7 rebounds last season, excelling in his seven starts with improved numbers. His exclusion from the ranking, also without mention in the 'just missed the cut' section, raises questions about his standing among centers in the league. Sharpe is preparing for his new role under head coach Jordi Fernandez.
