Wallace and Sexton are completely different players. Also, there is a good chance Sexton ends up a 6th man for the Jazz and not a starter.
If these players are your options in the draft, who are you picking for the Jazz?
- Thread starter Ferguson_Mellochill
- Start date

If we’re being honest with ourselves, that’s his NBA destiny (on a contender).
I’m not even hating. I’m pro-Sexton and excelling in that role isn’t for everyone. It’s become almost a necessity if you want to set yourself apart at the higher levels.

Black/Wallace/George splitting the "draft-a-guard" vote. Hendricks winning the popular vote. I'm looking forward to seeing how Hendricks comes into the Combine.

No I bet you never watched Sexton play before coming here. They are very similar as nba prospects . Sexton now however is far better in every statistical category and it isn't going to be close.
Don't preach about Wallace and his defense, he really is no better defensively than Sexton was in college imo. Sexton has largely been tagged as a poor defender in the NBA. I see little difference and if anything Sexton is the better pro.
Sexton and Wallace are both probably 6th man types in the NBA on a good team, but both are also either undersized 2 or not good enough natural playmakers for most gm's to think of them as lead guards , not right out of college.
Sexton has developed a lot and porbably is light years better as a player than Wallace will ever be his first couple seasons.
If you actually believe we are drafting a lead guard, it won't be Wallace without Sexton being traded.

Next time, instead writing all of that ****, just write "I don't know anything about basketball." Easier for everyone.

i'd have to take Hendricks, would consider Black and Wallace strongly, but would be very tempted to take Hawkins right there.

Says the fool who doesn't know anything about basketball ?
explain why you think that or F off loser
Wallace is a combo guard whos most creative playmaking was dump offs and kick outs he is no floor general and neither was Young Bull when he was drafted.
You want to give him props for being a lockdown defender like all the KY jelly users do, at least watch a game or two instead of counting beans or googl'n highlights smh
You are clearly a ****ing idiot if you think I don't know anything about the game since I have been playing it since your momma made a mistake

Hmm...........
What do you think a combo guard is, because based on your use of it you don't seem to understand what it is?
Wallace: 6'4" defensive player - is known for lock down defense and not much offense but capable assists
Sexton: 6'2" offensive player - small scoring guard, not known for assists and very deficient defense
You are totally right. I can see why you said they are the same player. My bad.

the description you use for them explains your ignorance and why you think I am stupid smh
Wallace right now is thought of as a mid to late first round prospect in reality that will be a combo 6th man type without significant improvements- same thing Sexton got labelled before Cleveland overpicked him.
Wallace being able to step in in the absence of the Wildcats injured point guard, a role he was not playing until that happened, showed he could run the point and got some nice assist number on his resume. They are fools gold, but hey it helped him stay on the floor with that being all he could do besdies the defensive effort, since he was struggling to shoot.
Sexton also struggled with his outside shot in college. another similarity.
CW is not a great playmaker and neither was Sexton aka its not their natural position, but CW shown promise as a scorer in the mid range and closer to the rim, so sure if he can shoot better from the outside, he will outperform expectations.
But thats the point = we already have Sexton who has improved his playmaking to at minimum the same level as Wallace, and Sexton is the better shooter scorer already.
About the only difference in them is Sexton was never given credit for his defensive intensity in college, sucks at it now, and Wallace is overrated for his defense and is likely to have the same struggles being a small guard.
One zing to rule them all.
Surprised people are so down on Dick when he has the best intersection of size, athleticism and skill of all these options
I honestly don’t know who I’d want. One day it’s Dick, another it’s Wallace, and today it’s Hendricks.
