The end of the article has a good point with how they need to trend lightly with demoting Sexton though. I think this team doesn't have the talent to justify doing so this season. Sexton hasn't hit his ceiling and to demote him now without a clearly better player doing so, is going to rub him and his people the wrong way.
That was always going to be the problem. Both of them needed to get a lot of minutes as a starting point guard to help them develop into that role, or to see if it was possible for them to play that position. But only one guy can start. And starting them together as a pair doesn't work offensively or defensively. So now, we're apparently going to take the guy who is outplaying the other guy, and bench him. Before we've even figured out if Garland is ever truly going to become a good NBA PG.
So...you're right. Benching Sexton when he's outplaying Garland isn't going to go over well, nor should it.
