We Got Swindled by Sexton (And Eddie Zero Sucks)

I think Sexton is a dude who can look to pass, or he can look to score. He's isnt athletic or effortless enough to score without devoting 100% of his focus towards it.

One thing is for sure he looks to have trouble mixing up his focus to confuse the defense. Where I come from that is called dedication. once he gets better at hiding his intentions the entire court will open up for him. I disagree he isn't athletic enough , even after injury he looks pretty solid a
 
This aged well…

Hey guys, I think this Alex Burks guy is the real deal. We should draft him instead of that Kenny Lepard guy.
 
Rarely have I seen a guy with so much gear grinding going on in his head when he tries to play point guard. It's almost comical.

Sexton may be a wonderful person who lives and breathes basketball, but by God... this man is not meant to be a PG in the NBA.

JC very much had the same stuff going on and has made changes. He will never be a pure point guard and if he is the best passer on the floor then just clear out and let him work... cuz it could be ugly. He plays hard as hell and works his *** off... I'll bet on that guy. Even if he just becomes the super bench scorer that's cool... its a thing we need.

I used to get the same criticism in my youth, because I knew the plays and set better than my teammates, I am or was anyway a perfectionist, and expected everyone to get to their spots and be on my level mentally, so when they didn't I was left pounding the air out of the ball, until I just decided to score myself or someone would kick out on my drive. Sexton is definitely "looking" like he is a deer on the spot light , but he has looked like that his entire career even when he is waiting for the ball. I wouldn't read into the way you are without a grain of salt added. Noone will ever criticize him for being too loose thats for sure, and he could stand to take more risks.

Yeah I am not in agreement he cannot be good enough in the modern nba to play the 1 for this team. if they go a route where they want a pure pass first non scorer and crawl back to the days when that archtype survives I would be shocked. I would rather have a 6'5 pg like Melo or a savvy swivel head net negative defender like Trae , but i would rather roll with someone like Bull and use my draft picks on a sf or modern 5 first.
 
So he might end up in Clarkson's old role as 6th man. That's how he's being paid. Is that such a bad thing..Love JC especially when he would come in and do his thing on those Rudy teams. If Jazz want to experiment and try him at PG what's the problem especially in a rebuild year. It might look real ugly but they can try THT, NAW, JC or anybody else in a playmaking role this season as Conley can't play 48 minutes. Actually it seems like Oynyk has been the secondary playmaker on the starting unit.

People are so weird.

I agree that it makes sense to let Sexton try to figure out the PG position. After all, he's too small to defend NBA 2's anyway. (He might also be too small to defend 1's effectively, but I digress)

It's just that he's looked really bad as a playmaker so far. Sexton has 100% scorer instincts and he looks like he wants to go 1 on 3 every time he has the ball at the perimeter. He's trying to rein himself in – which he should, as there's usually more efficient scoring options available.
