Collin Sexton SZN

Like if you were really trying to build around Sexton and make moves based off that, you would deal Keyonte if there was a team out there who really wanted him above the value you paid for him.

Yeah, I've thought about this as well. Keyonte's defense would have to get unfathomably better than it is right now to be able to pair him with Sexton successfully.

Building around Sexton doesn't mean getting rid of everything that doesn't fit per se. Key and any other player we draft are all on a wait and see type of program.
 
The other thing is if you did acquire someone that fit with Sexton as a backcourt mate... its likely they fit with Key as they have some of the same issues on defense.
 
I’m sorry but Keyonte has a LONG way to go before even being discussed like he is. He’s inefficient and he’s not a good defender at all.

I mean not really. There's a difference between making moves through the lens of "Does this maximize or fit with Sexton" and just making good moves.

If the Jazz can get a 6'3 PG who is more traditional (shoots off the dribble, can be a top PNR player, etc) and he's of similiar quality to Sexton (ie, Darius Garland type) then yeah, you move on from Sexton. I would assume the Jazz hope Keyonte is that as they have prioritized fast-tracking his development with minutes.

That’s literally what I said though. That type of player is few and far between. If Garland became available sure, who else? Trae? The list is pretty short.

Sure, I get that, but Keyonte's value is going to be high now and have the potential for drop off if he doesnt follow through on the promising start to his career. If the goal was 100% build around Sexton, you would look to capitalize off that value when it will be tough to keep that value given you're now focused around Sexton's development.

I think he actually could be a main piece for a star trade if one came available.

It's really not that short.

The point is if you're building around Sexton you're no longer looking to add any other smallish guard.

I don't think his value is super high. He can still play 20+ minutes a night and be fine while also increasing his value.
