The latest trade is good for Sexton’s career. He gets a chance to shine and he’ll finally get those minutes he needs to develop. (snark!) More likely it will be better for Utah’s draft position. I guess we will see.

I still take Mitchell over Sexton and crew, even if the team ends end up losing a good draft pick or two in the second half of this decade. Playoff games are won with the best starting 5 players, not by having three or four above average guys coming off the bench.

Looking at the early pages of this thread reminds me that we could have picked Shai G-A or Mikal Bridges or even Michael Porter over Sexton and probably should have. I think you’d have to count Sexton as basically a draft bust since as a sign and trade he was basically a throw-in and not essential to the Mitchell trade. So we just got a few years of “high scorer on a bad team” out of him.

I mean he’s pretty talented and certainly a legit NBA player so you can’t fault the FO in the way you could for picking someone who just straight up sucks, but like I always say GMs make a ton of money to really get it right so it makes sense to note the times they just don’t

I wouldn't call him a draft bust. He probably goes somewhere around 8-10 in a redraft which means we picked more or less the 8th best guy with the 8th best pick. Yea there were a few guys drafted below him (Mikal, SGA) who grade higher, but that doesn't make Collin Sexton a bust like say Kevin Knox or Bagley. I was on the Mikal train at the time but thats all in the past now. I wish him well and hope he has a long career even if his ceiling is 6MOTY.

He’s a bust because in the long run he didn’t help our team in our effort to become a contender, either by becoming a permanent contributor on the team or by being the key piece of a trade that helped us get such a contributor. And he obviously didn’t help us nearly as much as multiple other picks available at that spot in the draft could have. The goal of a lottery pick is to be a key building block for your team and he never was.

As I said above though, he clearly is an NBA talent and so is not a “bust” in the sense of WTF this dude didn’t belong in the league. But that’s a very low standard to hold the FO too for a lottery pick

I think we are just disagreeing on what a bust means here. The expectation value for a lottery pick in 5-10 range is somewhere between quality starter and 6th man, which Sexton clearly qualifies for. That is what I am grading Collin on. If you limit the context to just the Cavs, sure we can argue he is a bust. But I am looking it from a wider lens.
 
OK, I've been deep diving this thread this afternoon.. and I just want to tell you:
I was right the entire time at every stop.
Thank you and you are welcome for my clairvoyance
 
Was Collin having trouble coming back from the hamstring injury he suffered at the all star break or did the Jazz hold him out for tanking I mean player development?

Nice article. One thing Sexton has never lacked is hard work ethic and fearless playing style with great athleticism. I would never be shocked if he became an all star one day, surprised, but not shocked. He's a baller.
