I think a bot runs Magic's twitter feed. Appreciate the love but dude has no flare for social media. lol
Work ethic of Westbrook, intensity of Pat Bev, midrange game of CJ McCollum, speed of De'Aaron Fox. I love this kid. Glad to have him on the team. He's gonna continue to prove his doubters wrong.

Yet somehow he made the right pass in the closing seconds last night.

Not to go all dad-story on you:
I got to hear him speak and meet him briefly at a Diversity in Hiring for Minority Executive's event down at Delta Airlines in Atlanta at the end of March in '19
He had a team of 4 with him doing everything but putting one foot in front of the other to help him walk. As a result, he was really locked in and in the moment with seemingly every second he was there. Wouldn't surprise me if one of those people was a full-time "social media bot"
This was on the last Tuesday in March, during the season, I think the Lakers were playing that night too somewhere other than Atlanta.
Did not surprise me that he stepped down one week later and the biggest criticism was that he was never in the office and was way not really vested in the day to day of running the team.
Haha yea he definitely has his flaws, but the elite skills in multiple facets of the game make him a great building block for us going forward.

I still see him as an eventual 6th man of the year type guy, he’s extremely talented and hardworking but work ethic can’t teach basketball IQ. Last night the ball was moving really well but Sexton killed that at times. There was a sequence that really frustrated me where Prince was wide open in the corner, all Sexton had to do was swing it to Cedi/Windler and we would have had an open shot, instead he drove against 3 guys and got blocked. These are the kind of plays he needs to really improve on
A lot of players miss those types of plays, except maybe lebron, chris paul or jason kidd. You need to realize the video feed is from the top, not court level. Si what is visible to us watching is not visible to players on the court. Open players on the other side of the court are hard to spot because opposing players block the line of sight.
The great play makers are only able to read that because they count how many players they see every second. Once they realize a team mate is missing, it means it's on the other side so they make the hockey pass.

Well I’ve played basketball before, and a point gaurd should be able to recognize that if there’s two guys waiting for him in the paint plus another one actively gaurding him, moving the ball is the obvious move.
Ball and player movement is infectious, at that point in the game we were moving the ball well and building a lead, then Collin started dribbling the air out of the ball and killed our momentum.
True. But i think you are nitpicking. There are good plays and bad plays over the course of the game. And these mistakes will be a net negative if collin didn't do anything else positive. But this game, collin did a lot of good things, that a couple of botched plays you can live with. This is not andre drummond who will make 3 bone headed plays in one possession, only to do it again the next trip.

What team has a 6th man as talented as Sexton? Collin is already a more prolific scorer than guys like Lou Williams. He would be starting on most teams in the league. The Mavs would give up their entire cupboard (it's admittedly bare though) to add Collin as a Robin to Doncic. Man it gets so depressing here sometimes with the way fans try to pigeonhole our players. It's so rare to find a 21 year old that can score the ball like Collin and his work ethic fits right in with the Cleveland culture. He loves playing here. The crazy thing is despite their small size Sexton and Garland's offensive games compliment each other too. At this stage of the rebuild the Cavs can live with having those 2 start together.
