Collin Sexton SZN

[Saint Cy of JFC]

He's definitely more locked in on both sides. I wonder if the zone/box-1 feeds his hyperactive ADHD style in a constructive way. Even when he got isolated on the post he guessed right and got a clean swipe on a dude. That was an easy layup or turnaround earlier in the year.

I also got some **** for saying the floor isn't spaced for drivers with Collins/Kessler on the floor together. I think its more spaced right now.

I think JC's ball stopping and perpetual dribbling is a big cause of the offensive woes. Having everyone stand around and watch him cook was boring and ineffective... but everyone seemed to defer to it.

Also think a part of it is, when you look at the recent stretch of games Sexton/THT have played well in, the teams we are playing are typically not great at rim protection or play a lot of small ball.

Sexton averaged 24.3 PPG for an entire season before so that is promising for his current play.

Man, you don't have to try and balance out the board with everything. This is a fan site, people are allowed to get excited about our players playing well.

I get it, but my point was that Sexton's inflated numbers are fool's gold. We're obviously not building anything around 6'1'' Collin Sexton starting, playing 30+ minutes on high usage and averaging almost 20 FGA's per game (like he's done over the last five games). I mean... according to the beat reporters he's one of the players Ainge is hoping to move.

I suspect that the rest of the NBA is thinking along the exact same lines, so all this isn't improving his trade value at all. It's no big secret that if you give Collin enough minutes, touches and shots and let him run wild, eventually he's going to put up some numbers. He's done it before, both in Cleveland and in Utah.

But nobody's going to trade for him to do that.

No… you don’t get it. That’s the problem.

OK, let's hear it? People actually think Sexton has a future here? This type of future?

Who here has said they are building the team around Sexton?

Good gawd man this is a rebuilding team and you need to take the small victories when you can. Some of the guys seems to be improving.

You are obviously a Lauri fan (I get that) but you come on here and **** on every other guy on the team.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Sexton is one of the few players on a long-term deal. He probably has a future here. He's probably the 6th man.

Tremendous Upside must be alot of fun at a party.

Stop twisting my words. You know very well what I meant – Sexton most likely isn't in Danny's future plans. He's literally among the guys the Jazz is trying to find takers for and was already made available last summer. You're free to think he's a keeper, but that's not based on anything.

You really have trouble with reading comprehension, don't you? I guess it's nice that Collin is putting up gaudy counting stats while getting tons of minutes and shots, but it's just weird to treat this stuff as if it's taking place in a vacuum. On a rebuilding team, every decision should have a longer term purpose (that's what people always tell me anyway) and I fail to see how playing Sexton like he's Ja Morant is advancing anything. As I pointed out above, it's not improving his trade value either.

Man, I'm fed up with this **** show of a season.

You don't get ****. This has nothing to do with Lauri or any other player so stay on topic, please.

Not according to the people who actually get some behind-the-scenes info.

Why are you obsessed with me?

It's getting uncomfortable.

Maybe we don’t need to empty the coffers for IQ I guess.

My favorite play from last nights game. You can see the growth in Sexton’s game. Just an amazing pass and play all around.

In that play Sexton looks like Haliburton no kidding. Before he starts his drive, he already knows what he's gonna do. You can see how he glances in Lauri's direction and then takes off toward the rim. He uses his drive as a means to draw the defenders and get the ball to wide-open Lauri. I love seeing this change in Sexton's game.

That was great. The Lauri feed to Collins alley oop was another, as Lauri threw that pass from the perimeter and I cannot remember him throwing lobs from that far out... like ever.

Maybe KO is rubbing off on him a bit.

Jazz development team killing it. Really impressed to see Sexton (and Lauri) improving their assist totals. I think it bodes well in terms of future development for Key, TayHenny, Sensabaugh, etc.

Haha, that isn't on the jazz development team at all. It is all about Sexton being forced into heavy minutes because of injuries and it has allowed him to play a more patient game where he can pick his spots better. The reality is that Sexton should have been starting from game 1 but Hardy was way too stubborn to give him a shot.

He started him in pre-season...
