Right, but you could also point to all the players with Sexton's rookie numbers who did not become all-NBA facilitating guards.Agree it's unlikely that Sexton becomes a competent point guard, but it's not unheard of for a player to be a late bloomer in that department. Looking around at the All-NBA guards, you have Curry and Harden on the first team, Lillard and Irving on the second team, and Westbrook and Kemba on the third team. Out of all of them, Kyrie and Westbrook are the only two who were obviously better floor generals than Sexton at the same age. Last year DeRozan and Oladipo were All-NBA guards, and they were even more raw at age 20. That's not to say Sexton will follow the same development curve as those guys, but I don't think he's been so hopeless that you can rule it out either.
And I also do not think many posters are saying he is hopeless. I've been pretty critical of Sexton, but frankly, I think he has all-star potential as a scoring guard. Most people on here believe he can be a really nice contributor on a playoff team.
