Jackpotting Around Podcast: Episode 8 - To Convey Or Not To Convey and Let’s Start A Discussion About Collin Sexton

I mean, Trae Young is better, so yeah, I'd rather have Trae.

You are gonna have to show how trae is better.
When playing similar minutes this year sexton has the better assist to turnover ratio and scores more points, more efficiently.

Maybe trae is an elite level defender though. Idk.

Sexton is slightly younger and much cheaper too.

As of right now, Sexton is playing better, he is younger, and he is cheaper

Trae Young last 5 games:
4-13
4-12
3-14
6-16
10-21

Oof

4 to's
4 to's
2 to's
4 to's
7 to's

Oof

I doubt we ever see a stretch like that from Sexton for the rest of his career with the jazz.

I would also love to know examples of Sexton deals that people think would be worth it. If you really think he gets moved this offseason then by all means throw some examples of good deals out.

He won’t get moved. He is on a great deal and there are amazingly very few players better than him that we could upgrade to. All of which would cost significantly more.

And as pointed out by others, the Jazz aren’t consistently giving him all star minutes so he isn’t going to net you as much as he should in a trade.

Sexton isn’t as bad on defense as of late as he has been his career. I think he’s been better. He’s not great but he’s not actively hurting us.

I dont know how true that is.

He isnt the weakest defender most times on the court (mostly because Clarkson exist), I will give him that, but I still think he's a net negative and not helping the issue.

We're 26th in defense. Pretty much everyone is hurting us. I think Sexton is improved, but he's still a bad a defender and chances are he will always be one.

Im good.

Ya I think Sexton is a bad defender. I think he most likely always will be.

At least it isn't due to lack of effort though.

Fixed. You’re welcome.

Just get on board man. Don't fight it. As badly as you want him traded he can't be traded right now. He is on the jazz and will be for a while.
Just say it. He is playing at an all star level right now. He is playing as good as or better than trae young right now. It's not a huge sample size but **** it, he is a jazz man. He is young, on a good contract, extremely efficient, getting better as the season (and his career) progresses, works his *** off, accepts coaching, is a good teammate....
Come on in, the water is fine.

I would actually be more optimistic if Sexton's defense was due to a lack of effort. Someone like Mitchell, he definitely could have been a better defender if he wanted to. We'll see in the playoffs, but he has picked risen his defensive level this season as he's matured. Sexton....he just isn't a good defender and does not have that potential. Not everyone can be a good defender. He can always improve, but as with everything there's a degree of natural talent and Sexton isn't a talented defender. I think his effort raises his defensive level above the likes of Clarkson and Key....but that's hardly saying much.

Look man, if you need someone to tell you why Trae Young is better than Sexton, you probably need to look into special needs classes.

If your take is that Sexton is on a path to become better, have your opinion, but there is no question Young has been the better player to this point.
