That lob to Kessler was awesome. Kessler dunked over like 3 dudes including a teammate iirc.
I would love to see that one again (a highlight video) if anyone can post it for me.

When looking for this, I also noticed it was Dunn who made that full court pass to Ochai. That was also an impressive assist by him.

Here is the dunk tho:

This is all quite obvious to anyone with eyeballs.

How can you not like the guy?

He does seem to work hard. Its pretty easy not to like him though. He is pretty obnoxious on the court and his teammates have frequently got irritated with him on past teams and the Jazz for putting his head down and just trying to score no matter what the defense or teammates are doing. Guys are wide open and he just takes it every time. Even this game he was better but still left teammates hanging out open while he takes hard shots. Lauri has got frustrated a couple times in the past, last game THT got upset and others have as well. This game was much better in that regard. Usually his only assists come when he gets himself too deep and double covered and kicks it to anyone else on the team open if he doesnt force the shot. But this game and a few other games more latley he has been much more alert of his teammates and the defense in general. I still only like him in a off the bench scoring role when he is needed and things are going well. He is an awful fit with THT and Clarkson on the team though. I am shocked how much people like watching him play. His defense is always rough but he does try hard, he is just too small and cant stay in front of his guy.

Sexton is second on the team in potential assists behind Keyonte in the last 7 games. He started the year off playing less than stellar but he’s starting to turn it on.

The play last night where he ignored Fonzie was really bad.

He has been passing more. Hopefully it keeps improving. He still needs big improvements in this area. He just has low court awareness. He seems like he can't do two things. He is either driving and trying to score or looking for the pass. He drives and realizes he has nothing then looks for a pass or forces a bad shot. He doesn't often notice cutters or guys getting left open until he has decided to pass. But games like this are a big improvement and he is young maybe his bb iq will go up with time. Mostly I want his trade stock to improve. But he could be a decent 6/7 th guy potentially

I agree and posted about it twice.
However, there was only like 2 or 3 seconds left in the quarter and he had a full head of steam with only 1 dude back under the rim and the dude back wasn't a big guy iirc. He scores in that situation the vast majority of the time and he might not have thought he had the time on the clock to make the pass and have Simone get the shot off
He should have made the pass but in the context of the situation it wasn't as egregious.

Sexton had two PNR plays were he manipulated the threat of his quick push shot to get his man open. I was very impressed because it's hard for me to think of many plays where Sexton has done that.

I do think he needs more on ball reps. When him and THT play together they usually put Sexton off ball, which I get. They are trying to get Sexton the ball in space or on a mismatch, but THT shouldn't be on the ball as much as he is currently.
 
Remember when RJ Barrett started the year off super hot?

The only time I noticed him the other night is when Hendricks stuffed him.

@Elizah Huge

Looked at his stats and he has indeed returned to normal.
