Collin Sexton SZN

Handlogten's Heros said:
In the 8 games Conley has missed JC has averaged 5.1 assists per game... slightly over his average for the year. I'm just not sure there is any data to backup this whole narrative some are pushing about Sexton. The net rating with Collin and the starters is effing awesome.

It might be time to lay down the torches and pitchforks even if he isn't your cup of tea.

Good post. It is laughable how some posters keep going on and on about any one player they hated on in the past. They also make apologies for others they were higher on based on wingspan or leaping ability or some other stupid **** while said player keeps choking. Yes despite the progression of said player no matter who it is. It is almost as if these same persons will refuse to admit their own poor judgement by continuing to be poor at judging, as if sticking to their previous bad takes will make the player go away or not perform like they have been. -Obviously in this case far better than said posters will admit is true, because of their need to be right about EVERYTHING. Yet proving that weakness is strongest in denial

With the way our offense has been humming all season, Sexton, as a starting PG, gets 5 assists in 30 minutes just by giving the ball up now and then. You KNOW this.

He's not setting guys up.

Anyway, I'm glad he's been playing pretty well. His irrationally confident 1-on-2 attacks are a useful wrinkle in some situations, but they can never be anything we build our offense around. He needs a ton of time and space for those, pushing everyone else to the perimeter, far away from rebounding positions. Just not an efficient way to score in the modern NBA.

This stuff is exactly what Sexton wants to do and what he's always done. And it's never lead to W's when allowed to get out of hand.

He's a microwave scorer off the bench who's trying hard to learn the basics of NBA pg play. Time will tell if he succeeds.

You have got to be trolling. You really can’t be this stupid.

#1 I was talking about JC getting 5 per game. Just like he was with Conley.

Which is it... that Sexton gums up the offense or that it hums no matter who is there to the tune that it gifts Collin 5 assists a game. He's setting guys up plenty... every player gets a cheap assist here and there. Sexton gets no more than any other guy and he has absolutely been setting guys up for corner threes, dunks, and had one or two wear he dribble in and sets a nice screen for the shooter to hit a three over the top.

When Collin choses to score he does so efficiently. Sometimes I guess that means going into a pack of guys. Everyone has **** ups... when you net his **** ups against his good stuff he is still an efficient scorer.

It feels like some folks here are yelling at clouds.

I dislike Sexton because he is a small scoring guard. Not because he is a bad small scoring guard.

yet you continually try to pound home, how he is nothing more than a scorer, not a point guard can't be more than a high level backup bla lala blah blah despite the increased awareness, desire to be better in that regard, and the execution said role when in it, so far this season, has been far more than you or your sideshow burners will acknowledge. You are stuck in the past on this guy and too blind to see it

Sexton isn’t "setting guys up" though.

Where/How do you find these videos? My favorite Sexton play so far this year is a nash dribble out of a crowd and then a perfect pass to a cutting Lauri for a dunk. I thought it showed a ton of growth/development from Sexton. I believe it was against the Clippers. I can't seem to find a highlight video of it though.
 
The "look Sexton has made passes before" is the funniest thing.

Wow, I never knew a NBA player could do that. Crazy.

You could put together a passing reel that makes Al Jefferson look nice too.

The argument was that his assists were mostly cheap assists and he wasn't setting anyone up... and its not true.

Its just a strange witch hunt some folks are on I guess. The numbers don't seem to back up almost anything some of the posters are saying. So @Elizah Huge was nice enough to dig up some video evidence.
