It's better he takes less and good shots than doubles his shooting leading for more bad shots. Same goes for everyone. On hot nights, they if course need to shoot much above season averages

Hot nights are a near nightly occurrence for him though.
 
if we sell sexton off for anything less than premium draft capital I’d be furious. I think trading him now is actually selling low. I get he had almost zero value early in the season but I think his improvement is real and with more volume he’s an even better trade asset.

Yep. It is pretty crazy how poorly he has been utilized from a volume standpoint with the hot hand he is playing with right now.

Until he can make higher quality passing decisions more regularly his volume has a usefulness limit.

And to be clear, he has improved on that front, but it's still not to the point where you can just put the ball in his hands all the time
 
I forget who compared him to the guard version of Julius Randle, but I think that's a great comparison. He's going to produce a ton. He may not help you win as much as that production implies, but that still helps you win a lot of games. But as far as trading him....it's going to be difficult to find a taker because just like Randle he is good, but not ideal player to build around. Randle is a a multi time all star and multi time all nba player. I don't think Sexton will quite reach those heights, but he's still very good. And at the same time, I don't think he fetches a ton on the trade market.

You would be wrong about that and him… again.

I think we’d be very fortunate if Sexton gets to Randle’s level. If he gets 2x all nba in his a career, I’d be very happy to be wrong about that.

I was more talking about his trade value and saying it would be difficult to find a taker. That’s pretty laughable actually.

I just mean there aren’t many teams that would be interested in paying the price that would get that kind of player. Like if NYK put Randle on the block, it would have to be a very specific team situation for them to be a buyer. It’s like the opposite of someone like Mikal where every single team would be interested no matter their situation and roster composition. Of course Randle would get interest and have value, but he’s a tougher fit despite how productive he is. Likewise, Sexton was put on the trade market, I bet the offers would be disappointing and probably not worth the value he’s delivering to the team.
