Sexton is closer to an all star level player than a non starting level player

Yep. I mean the last time he was a full season starter he averaged 24.3pts and 4.4asts while shooting 47.5% from the field and 37.1% from 3. We have seen plenty of volume scorers on bad teams over the years because someone has to score but there percentages are usually mediocre.

I think he is a starting quality player but not a guy you bank on as a point guard of the future unless he improves those other things you listed. I think the Jazz FO just need to view him as a guard... he can create for others... he can create for himself. Ideally we have another guard or wing that is a connector and can run some of the actions with him. Its why I like Anthony Black so much. He can fit right in that backcourt and make it work.

i think it is good for Collin to be forced into pg duties right now as it makes him change his nature a bit. He's never going to be CP3 but if he does a little better with his decision making and develops the 3 off the dribble he's going to score 25 a game. He is just bonkers fast and works well in the mid range.

It feels like if someone is really game planning for Sexton, it would be pretty easy. Give him space since he's not a pull up threat and then cut off his drives with a second defender since he has a hard time making the quick read to find the open man. If he's starting I think they game plan for him more and he might struggle.

Shooting the pull up 3 would make him almost impossible to guard. He doesn't even have to be super efficient at the off the bounce 3, just well enough and frequent enough to keep the defense guessing.

Maybe I'm wrong though. He's so good at drawing fouls that maybe he couldn't be game planned that essily and maybe he would be way less effective pulling up for 3s. One of the key things to watch for during this last stretch of the season is how he continues to look as a starter.
 
Sexton's biggest problem is that he just makes too many mistakes. Think it's a good thing Hardy was hard on him to start the year off. Now we get to see if it paid off a bit.

It's also depressing how hard he tries defensively just to be a mediocre defender at best. Just doesn't do a good job reading plays. Gets way less steals than you'd expect from a guard with his speed and decent length. Tries to play up on guys but isn't truly disruptive and doesn't really strike fear in anyone trying to dribble

These takes are going to continue to age poorly.

I legit thought your first sentence was going to say “Sexton’s biggest problem is he makes too many shots”

Why is it depressing lol… you’d rather have him not care like Don and be ******?

Because I don't think he has much opportunity to get better on defense.

Offensively there is a lot of upside

I mean he’s gone from one of the leagues worst defenders to average… why wouldn’t he get better?

Lol you literally just said he’s mediocre.


Christ man, did ole boy clap your girls cheeks? This is super embarrassing at this point.

Just trying to soften the language so it isn't "hating". Look at all his advanced defensive metrics, are all very negative.
