Should the Jazz "Unleash" Collin Sexton?

You said "he better produce at a high level"
I said he always does. Even when he creates a very static office that becomes it's own version of ISO ball he still always produces at a high level. You might not enjoy watching that kind of production but it's still high level production.

Again, agree to disagree. His individual stats might look good but the whole offense shuts down when Sexton is dominating the ball. I hope Hardy keeps the leash on.

I mean, Hardy still needs to coach him hard, but I disagree the offense shuts down with him. I have empathy for you being wrong because I was there last year, but he has improved and the offense does not stall because of him.
 
I dont think Keyonte/Sexton is a good duo and I would want to upgrade Keyonte's starting position and have Keyonte develop as a 6th man (not to ultimately be a 6th man, just not the pressure of starting) and have him as an insurance policy next to Sexton. But at the same time I wouldnt balk at having them both start this year just to see. Maybe the improvement from Hendricks/Collins/Walker/Someone we trade those guys for improves our defense to the point where a bad backcourt can survive defensively as league average.

Maybe Keyonte ultimately becomes a trade chip to get you that star next to Sexton/Lauri. Maybe you get lucky and Sensabaugh/Hendricks/Keyonte/some guy you draft in the future turns into that player.

I agree with betting on Sexton and shopping Keyonte hopefully while there's strong interest. Keyonte's pouty, selfish attitude, especially after Donovan, has me soured.

To be clear, I wouldnt shop him this year. I'd want to keep him.
 
It's already been reported they are looking at trading 10 for a win now player. It's a nice buy low opportunity
We know what a high level roleplayer trades at because we have traded a lot of them the last couple of years. Someone like Issac on the last year of his contract is worth a late first. Both late picks maybe, but that would be an overpay. If Orlando resigned him to a decent value contract, THEN you could start talking late lottery picks.

Sir, he just had a 3.8 BPM. He has DPOY kind of ceiling as a defender. He's not just a role player.

The only argument against him not being worth the 10th pick is his health concerns (which is very valid). Point blank period. If you disagree you simply dont watch him and dont understand basketball.
 
Danny can try to haggle swapping 10 and 18 with the Magic, but at the end of the day I would concede to get Isaac. He would unlock so much for Utah and is a star defender hiding in plain sight that could transform the Jazz as a team.
 
Issac is too much of an injury risk to commit #10. He only played 15 MPG last season, and that might be the max he can handle without breaking. It's probably one year late to take a risk on this type of situation. You'd want to take the risk when the cost is extremely low....Lonzo/Simmons type situation.

There's not a reason for ORL to trade him anyways. He's not a good trade target imo.

The 10th pick in this draft is an extremely low cost....
 
I'm totally out on Isaac. Injury prone (averages 40 games per season) and I think he can very quickly be a dividing player in a group with his rather extreme views on various subjects (anti-vaxer, conservation Christian republican, etc).
 
The cost is the risk and vice versa lmao. If we traded Clarkson for Lonzo, for example, it would not be a high risk high reward because we're not losing the 10th in the draft.
Not the way I see it. If you think the 10th pick is a great pick then I guess you could use that mental gymnastics.

Sure, I'm the one using mental gymnastics. If it makes you feel better to say that, go ahead. You also said it was intellectually dishonest to call a below average a below average shooter....so I'm not to concerned about the way you see it.

When compared to nothing (or shedding negative contracts) in the Lonzo/Simmons examples, the 10th pick definitely does not qualify as "extreme low cost" in my book.
