Collin Sexton SZN

[fishonjazz]

It is easy to forget that Collin was 17/5 with 64% TS in less than 30 minutes per game as a starter last season.

Ya I brought this up all summer and all this season when everyone didn't believe in him. And it's not like last season was his rookie year.

I knew he would be good because he was already good lol. I'm not surprised by what he is doing.

In November we were thinking of Sexton more so as a salary piece in a bigger trade.

Not me. I always thought he was a key piece for the future jazz

You may have thought that but the reality is the jazz weren't treating him like that type of piece. Luckily injuries forced Hardy's hand and Sexton has gotten back to his usual self as a starter.

No one questioned if Collin could score.

This.

His whole package seems so much better integrated at this point.

I knew he could not just score but score efficiently and play team ball adequately as well.

I saw it last year. His first year in the system with new teammates on a tank team he already looked great. I figured he would look better than last year with more time with the system and more chemistry with his teammates and playing on a team that wants to make the playoffs. This isn't surprising to me.

Still interesting to me with how well he has played that Hardy still has his minutes on a short leash

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Like last night he has 19 points in 18 minutes.

Can anyone recall what he did that got him benched for so long?

Maybe Hardy is really cracking down on his guards taking too many shots? That seems to be the main reason THT is no longer playing.

If Clarkson is on, it seems he's going to get more minutes than Sexton.

He got poked in the eye and had to leave the game. That affected his minutes some. Keyonte being on fire and Dunn playing nearly flawlessly also might have come into play

He lost his whole 2nd quarter stint cuz he got hit in the eye. I think they wanted to take him back to look at a concussion and he was like “nah”. He didn’t really get hit like that but it was funny. He got pulled the last three minutes too not sure why exactly.

We need to give him 30 minutes a night going forward.

From what I can tell, that was only about 4 minutes of lost time in the 2nd.

Seems like Sexton got subbed out at the 3 minutes mark of the 4th when the game was basically won (15 point game)? But it's not like the Jazz put in the reserves, all the other starters were still in, Hardy just subbed Clarkson in. Hardy doesnt seem to fully trust Sexton yet.

At one point Clarkson literally played 15 game minutes straight and I’m not sure why.

Hardy sticks to his rotations too hard at times. Sexton had 8 points in the first 6 mins of the 3rd and came out because the rotations said so.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Another thing I think could possibly be happening is the Jazz are trying to keep Sexton from getting injured. Not entirely sure but he has had a few injuries in his career. Limiting his minutes might be the way they are trying to do that. Just a thought.

It actually affected his minutes quite a bit, since he just played 40 seconds in all of 2nd quarter due to it. Hardy also pulled him pretty early in the 3rd quarter which was pretty puzzling as Sexton was the only one who got stuff done on offense. But as a team we struggled and maybe he was going off script too much there, or then Hardy just wanted to switch things up to get out of the slump.

The 2nd quarter only amoutned to 4 minutes lost if he had played teh entire time after he got subbed in.

In the 3rd he got subbed out quickly, but came in a minute later.

Jazz cannot afford to give Sexton too many minutes, he gives away in D almost as much as gets in O (for himself).

Has been good anywho, just cannot have him, Jc and Collins too many minutes together out there playing.

Thank God Tht is not there anymore..

 

[Tanktastic]

A minute into the 3rd Sexton left Beasley to (fake) help on a Giannis drive - open corner 3. Hardy immediately signaled for Keyonte, subbed him after the next Jazz possession, talked to Collin at the scorers' table for the whole of the next possession and subbed him back in after a minute.

I get that there are things ("Don't leave Beasley alone in the corner") that for Hardy are complete no-nos. Still, there's Sexton and then all the other guards.

Then again, can't argue with the results. And of course, if Collin keeps all the good things he has and does and could get rid of those brain farts of his, he'd be a pretty good player.

Here's the play
