We Got Swindled by Sexton (And Eddie Zero Sucks)

His speed is good, Ja style, but opposite to Ja, he is very predictible. He has to improve a lot of things in his game. But as i say many times, he is young, back from serious injury, we have to be patient. As least a complete season.
 
28 minutes 1 assist.

There really isn't a role on this team for him. With Clarkson already on the team and THT/Beasley also being spark plugs off the bench, we don't need his scoring. He tries on defense but is too small and ineffective and the more he tries to play for the team the worst he plays.
Bingo.

I would be fine never seeing him take the court in a Jazz jersey again.
 
Sexton is trying to develop, that we know of. He is studying film with Conley and Hardy, and obviously Hardy is putting him in those positions which indicates that he wants to learn.

However the more I think about this, the more I think its a lost cause. Sexton is a tunnel vision guy, and its how his brains are wired. Its easy to see between people in general, that some of us are observers and thinkers who are wired to plan while others are doers who are wired to act. You need both types on the court, but a good playmaker must be an observer. He must be the guy who sees and records everything, even stuff going on in his peripheral vision.

Now if we would move on from JC at any point, Sexton would have a place in this roster. However he would be a downgrade. But as long as JC is in, Sexton is a 20 minute maximum guy for us. As I have also stated on numerous occasions, Sexton and JC cannot be on the court together for extended periods of time. It just stalls our game. We need 1 guy like that, and I would prefer JC right now even if he is older.
 
Sexton isn't a rookie and is well paid and getting scolded by a rookie coach caught on camera is bad
No... its not. Coaches riding a guy that hard is awesome. Duncan was famously coached harder than anyone by Pop. Hardy knows he can go at him and not lose him... what you don't want is the sniping in press conferences like Wood and Kidd have going right now.

This is fine... and not in a meme way.
 
As somebody who has enjoyed watching the Jazz this year, but has not been a Jazz fan (although did enjoy Rubio's tenure), I felt compelled to create an account for one purpose.

That purpose is to say Sexton is awful and simply doesn't understand how to play as part of a team. Whenever he is on the court it becomes almost unwatchable. He is either pounding the air out of the ball, getting blocked at the rim or standing still (not to mention getting bullied on D). In all cases the movement of the offence stalls and becomes extremely ugly to watch. Props to Hardy for pulling him when he can. For as much as Clarkson can be ball dominant, I still find him pretty enjoyable to watch. THT can be a blundering idiot, but even he has his moments. Sexton..... ugh I just can't stand his style of play.
