Dropped this in S34, but figured it could be expanded on in his own thread.
Since Clarkson was traded Sexton is putting up this stat line:
22.4 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 2.6 APG, 1 SPG on 47.3/42.9/88.7 shooting splits.
That scoring line and shooting efficiency in a soon to be 20 game sample size is nothing to sneeze at. TS% of 55.93%, eFG% of 51.71%.
Number of passes per game has gone from 34.4 to 38, with his potential assist figures going from 4.6 to 6.0. That reflects with what we are watching too, and a noticeable effort in creating more for others off of his drives and isos.
Been one of the best isolation scorers in the league this year, putting up 1.02 points per possession, which ties him with Luka and Bradley Beal and slightly ahead of Trae Young. Puts him in the 80th percentile for the entire league.
Only trails K Love as our most efficient spot up shooter at a 61.2 eFG% and is in the 70th percentile for points per possession when spotting up.
If this 21 year old kid either figures out how to cut/slash off ball or play make at a higher level, we have an absolute player on offense.
Kid is currently putting up a scoring season that will only have been seen 12 times the last decade should he continue his level of play (21 or younger, 19+ PPG on 45%+ shooting from the floor) and he is doing it still raw as hell as a 20/21 year old.
Having a coaching staff that can develop either more off ball skills or more play making skills is key for him, and so far it looks like Beilein and company took him all the way down to the foundation and are building him up as the season progresses. Shame his rookie year was a throwaway season getting coached by a bunch of dudes with both feet out the door, and how a lot of fans seemingly forget that.
