George Hill is literally the better player right now.

Sure, who wouldn’t, George Hill is a recognized sleezeball! Bonus points to Sexton for recognizing that. Now he and Clarkson on the other hand have always been tight and I remember Sexton naming Clarkson as a mentor after Clarkson got traded.

By the way, this is my favorite thread.

Yeah I mean that Cleveland team was built to be a championship squad… sexton should have fallen backwards into a title.Sexton already had gaudy counting stats in Cleveland. Yet there was absolutely no market for him when the Cavs dangled him in the trade market, trying to "sell high".
The problem is that he's not a winning player, and the whole league knows it by now. Here's a good overview on why advanced stats absolutely hate this dude:
Cavs: Collin Sexton has a style of play that isn’t conducive to winning
Collin Sexton has had a hard time proving he's the Cavs franchise player. On paper, Collin Sexton is a dream come true. He's a player who has an incredible...factoryofsadness.co
As I said earlier... as long as Sexton is starting and featured heavily in the offense, we'll be losing. I'll gladly eat my crow if I have to, but I have a sneaking suspicion it won't come to that. His negative effect on the play of the guys around him goes way beyond mere stats.
Almost every young player that ends up on a rebuilding team immediately contributes to winning basketball and they never improve ever.

I did. Yall really just like to focus on w/e you can argue about.
Ha… sure. If THT had the games Collin had you’d have made 10 separate threads singing his praises.

That is quite possibly the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard around here. Watching Poole go to work against the Jazz the other night, it felt like a punch to the solar plexus when he turned on the jets and beat his defender to the cup! I mean as an opponent, that has to be the most psychologically debilitating thing a guy can do to you. Collin Sexton did it maybe four or five times last night including twice against Booker till they changed his assignment and once against Ayton who was actually playing off from him.

Yeah, getting to the basket has always been Sexton's main skill as a ball player. It's just not very sustainable or efficient at 6'0'', not in the modern NBA where the 3pt shot rules. He gets swatted a ton, and when it happens without a single pass in our half court offense (as it often does), it's demoralizing as ****.
You just have to look at the bigger picture with Sexton. If you get bogged down in these cool little details – a small jitterbug type dude making a layup right in a 7 footer's face – you'll forget to pay attention to the fact that he had a wide open 3pt shooter on the wing he didn't pass to, and 10 seconds later he died a screen in the other end, allowing a free layup.
Sexton is an easy guy to cheer for when he gets going. That's exactly why the Cavs chose him as their tank commander.

I give up! Go back to schilling for Trump, your kind of logic would make a lot of sense to the QAnon crowd.

I hope you’re Mensa because that’s one of the qualifications to post on this board.
He was in the same trade and plays the same position as Mitchell… because of that there is a group on here that will hate Sexton no matter how well he plays.
