Collin Sexton SZN

[Handlogten's Heros]

Head is part of the ball.

It gets missed so often. And refs guess already… like when wild swinging arms are moving that fast you can almost guess that if you don’t see them get the ball they likely got the body somewhere.

Still in awe of this dunk

Best dunk of the year

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

In general the way the nba officiates games is so wild and weird. It has been for years. The differences between contact that is/isn't called. Certain guys get to do things others don't.

Like the touch fouls that guys bait other players into are called a ton... and then you'll watch guys like Lauri go so hard and try to score rather than just get a foul and they allow a ton of contact. If you are just guessing a lot of the time... like they definitely are... then go ahead and guess when guys act like they got shot that they are tricking you... and that when guys are going hard to the rim and there are swinging arms and bodies everywhere that unless you saw straight hand on ball... go ahead and blow a whistle.

Also, expand the charge circle by 100% or get rid of that ******** call.

This. There were one or two late. And once or twice I saw a jazz player get similar contact with no whistle. If you have to guess pocket yer damn whistle!!!

I think they always have to guess a little. That's why you see late whistles when the guy fakes a stumble or the shots miss... I'm just saying guess better. Or make the rules such that fakers get less benefit of the doubt than guys truly just trying to score.

I would say not only has Sexton regained all his explosiveness post knee surgery but may be more explosive than ever. He really is a special athlete when healthy.

 

[Step-Back Lauri]

I was certain that Lauri will be clearly the best player in current roster, when entering their primes. Now it seems, in few seasons, we might have TWO all nba candidates, and Sexton might be considered the best one. Exciting times

Guy is such a hard worker and has a great attitude. Real easy to cheer for.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

At some point the Jazz need to bench Dunn and see what Sexton can do as the clear cut lead guard.

It's been tried. It hasn't been pretty.

The fact that Sexton has somewhat improved his passing doesn't make him someone capable of running a team. He still has too much of a tendency to drive into the trees when it's not needed.

I think they tried too for example a jump shot where it’s not a normal movement like jumping to the side to force contact. But it’s not always enforced.
