It’s all likely a moot point—if they both pan out as expected, one of the two is likely to be dealt down the line.t
To me, it's that Sexton is much more likely to be a better defender in the PG role than as an SG.
Ideally, you'd like defenders to be able to guard one position above/below their own. If Sexton is your PG, then he guards the opponent's PG, and perhaps can guard some SG's on switches. Then you have some other, large dude at SG who hopefully can guard 1-3.
But if Sexton is your "big" guard, your backcourt is going to be much more limited defensively. So that's why I'm not thrilled with the idea of consigning him to be a 2 guard for the rest of his career. I think it's going to make it harder for him personally on the defensive end, and also deprives the team of a longer backcourt defender capable of switching onto larger guys.
You’d pick the one you want to build around and get good value on the other.
If one isn’t as expected, he likely becomes a 6th man down the line.
If neither develops into what we expect, well.... shit.
