Collin Sexton SZN

Sexton sucked as PG early in his career. The advanced stats bare that out.

Cleveland made the right move getting Garland because he was clear BPA.

Sexton had a huge injury that takes away a huge year of development (common thread among undervalued young players). Garland looked great (All-Star year) the year Sexton goes down with a season ending injury, which helped even further the "Sexton sucked" narrative.

Garland/Sexton duo was too small, Cleveland had to move on from SExton.

All a perfect storm for Sexton getting undervalued due to some stunted growth/injuries.

Basically Sexton played himself into a certain narrative and then things after happened that were out of his control that furthered the narrative unfairly.

Watching the Garland-Sexton Cavs was like dissolving your eyeballs in acid. Some of the worst offense I’ve ever seen.

Probably one of the realist players in the league. He’s been judged on na bogus rep his whole career and never gotten defensive had a bad attitude. He just shows up to work and gives his all as if he’s a future first ballot HOF player that has nothing to gripe about.

Yep. Loved him since the day he got here.

It gets missed so often. And refs guess already… like when wild swinging arms are moving that fast you can almost guess that if you don’t see them get the ball they likely got the body somewhere.
 
In general the way the nba officiates games is so wild and weird. It has been for years. The differences between contact that is/isn't called. Certain guys get to do things others don't.

Like the touch fouls that guys bait other players into are called a ton... and then you'll watch guys like Lauri go so hard and try to score rather than just get a foul and they allow a ton of contact. If you are just guessing a lot of the time... like they definitely are... then go ahead and guess when guys act like they got shot that they are tricking you... and that when guys are going hard to the rim and there are swinging arms and bodies everywhere that unless you saw straight hand on ball... go ahead and blow a whistle.

Also, expand the charge circle by 100% or get rid of that ******** call.

This. There were one or two late. And once or twice I saw a jazz player get similar contact with no whistle. If you have to guess pocket yer damn whistle!!!
