Sexton sucked as PG early in his career. The advanced stats bare that out.
Cleveland made the right move getting Garland because he was clear BPA.
Sexton had a huge injury that takes away a huge year of development (common thread among undervalued young players). Garland looked great (All-Star year) the year Sexton goes down with a season ending injury, which helped even further the "Sexton sucked" narrative.
Garland/Sexton duo was too small, Cleveland had to move on from SExton.
All a perfect storm for Sexton getting undervalued due to some stunted growth/injuries.
Basically Sexton played himself into a certain narrative and then things after happened that were out of his control that furthered the narrative unfairly.
