Not really... I just mentioned that particular one cuz I thought it was unfair. If you check the early part of the thread I mentioned I had no idea what Sexton was doing on defense right now. Was just super lost for some reason... that was before Jerome got him 3 straight times. Just felt like that was a weird place to go after Sexton when you really don't care what JC and Rudy are doing out there.
I think it's more or less the fact that Gay is just temporary and with Sexton they are trying to actually instill values and habits. Gay is going to get his 15 minutes (unless maybe he starts chucking, but currently he's not even shooting all that much) until someone else steps up and makes Hardy give them more minutes.
And I get why he is hard on Collin. He has serious talent and sometimes he is just so spacey. Coaches probably overvalue predictability and consistency. I remember Pop talking about how Manu drove him nuts as a young player and he had to get over it.
It was partly in defense of Sexton but also partly in defense of the mid-range. It isn't a bad shot there... and Collin is good in the 10-16 range... any clean look at the end of the quarter is fine there. It was just a weird time to get upset.
We.... WE!!!!! I am not letting him shoot any lol.
I dont think any of this does have to do with the trade deadline. Gay is just a big body that the Jazz generally need out there and he's a placeholder for a coach who doesnt want to be overly charitable with minutes to young players.
Watching Sexton play basketball in general is infuriating, so I get it. I think he might be a bit too old to be as moldable as Hardy probably hopes though, so maybe he should just let him do him more than he does.
Yet sexton is probably our most consistent guard lol.
