Collin Sexton Stat Deep Dive

Garland is awesome… he also has a top 20 usage rate while Don is top 5. There will only be one ball on the court and Don doesn’t seem to thrive off the ball. But, that last statement is just my opinion… I’d love to see any metrics of his off ball efficiency and volume. I just don’t think that’s really been part of his game.

Collin Sexton averaged 24 ppg on great efficiency playing alongside Garland

Who else outside of Garland/Donovan creates shots on that team?

It's basically just Levert until Rubio gets healthy. Both players will have all the touches they need. The interesting thing would be who has the ball in their hands in the final minutes.

Garland averaged the same # of assists as Luka last season.

He is also 7 inches shorter. He is no Luka, and we already saw what 2 small guards can do together. I am not saying they can't make it work, but man will that be a nightmare defensively against bigger back courts.

Garland had usage of 27, Mitchell is over 33, both in the top 20 for the NBA. They are going to have to share ball-handling duties and efficiency and production for both will likely drop, at least at first.

He's clearly a better playmaker than Mike Conley, especially at this stage. He's one of the best passers/playmakers in the league.

Can't pass and make plays without the ball. A 33 usage player and a 27 usage player are going to clash at least at first. Which one gives it up? Likely it's Garland. His numbers will drop with Mitchell most likely.

It's taboo for Jazz fans but great teams around the league have multiple top tier ball handlers.

There is literally one team where it exists… Boston. I could be wrong and perhaps Mitchell won’t be a flop on the Cavs, but I don’t think it’s rational to expect Mitchell’s numbers to improve. Everyone on that team will need to give a little for the broader good.
 
The issue for the Cavs isnt going to be Garland/Mitchell, it's going to be who the hell is the 3rd perimeter player in closing lineups?

Okoro cant shoot and if Mobley hasnt improved his shot, spacing is going to be an issue.

Cedi Osman is just average as a shooter. Caris Lever is a mediocre shooter even when he's available.

Garland/Mitchell will work together quite well on offense. Both are great catch and shoot players I believe (not sure on Garland, but I'm assuming and Mitchell was a lethal off the catch shooter every year but the past one).

Garland is actually pretty bad at 38.4% on 3.1 attempts per game. 2.8 attempts are 3’s at 35.4%.
