Jesus Christ, man. I've said he is improving and that I really like him multiple times.So, in other words he is rapidly improving, but he isn't a plus defender at 19 on the 2nd worst defending team in the league?
Reading your post makes me more optimistic instead of less about him. Do you honestly think he is one of the worst 10 players in the league? I don't at all. I think Darius has a bigger barrier to entry than Porter, but that's my opinion.
Do I think he is one of the ten worst players in the NBA? No, of course not. Do I think he is one of the ten worst players in the NBA averaging over twenty minutes per game? Yes, I do.
And, because I really do not feel like going twenty circles with you over something I did not say, I also think he has more potential than most players under the age of 22 that are playing more than twenty minutes per game. All of these views are consistent, backed up by evidence, and not saying that I think he sucks.
Of course, I think Sexton is a better defender than Trae Young, but the advanced numbers say I am wrong.
Also, what advanced numbers say Sexton is a worse defender than Trae? RPM has Trae Young as the worst defender in NBA history, has a lower D-PIPM and RAPM. The only stat that has Young as better is BPM and BPM Win Shares and that is because those stats overvalue things like steals compared to regression weights.
I have no idea why you are going after me for things I never said. It seems like a waste of time.
