Contract Value Index (CVI)
Day'Ron Sharpe's two-year, $6.3M AAV extension with the Nets earns a C+ CVI — a reasonable investment in a solid starter center who provides exactly what you'd expect at this price point. At 22 years old, Sharpe brings rim protection, rebounding, and developing offensive skills that justify mid-tier starter money, especially in a center market where true impact players command $15-20M annually. The deal's structure works well for Brooklyn's timeline, giving them a cost-controlled big man through his prime development years while maintaining flexibility to either extend him long-term or use him as a trade asset if a star becomes available. Sharpe's youth and improving skill set make this contract potentially valuable on the trade market, as contending teams consistently seek affordable frontcourt depth. The two-year term is smart asset management — long enough to capture his upside but short enough to avoid being locked into a bad deal if his development plateaus. For a rebuilding Nets team prioritizing cap flexibility and young talent, this represents solid value for a player who can contribute immediately while still having meaningful upside.
Performance Analysis
Day'Ron Sharpe earns a B- Performance grade this season — a quality starter-level center putting up solid numbers for the Brooklyn Nets. Through 253 games, Day'Ron is contributing 8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game in his role. Day'Ron's strongest area is RPG at 6.7, which compares favorably to the center median of 5.0. The biggest area for growth is APG at 2.3 (center median: 4.0). Among 97 NBA centers graded this season, Day'Ron ranks 38th. At 24, Day'Ron is still developing. The production should improve as he gains experience and a larger role with the Brooklyn Nets.
