With all due respect, I got that as well from the following excerpt of a previous post which you made (and which I actually liked, incidentally):I have no idea how you got that from my posts.
Yes...and his three point percentage was at a a career low, his assists per 36 were at the lowest of his career, and his turnovers/36 were at a career high. His eFG% and TS% both were barely above his rookie numbers, and well below his numbers the last two seasons.
Forgive me if I misunderstood, but I thought you were pointing this out as evidence that Sexton was struggling to adapt to his new role, and therefore we cannot assume that he will figure it out.
A couple posters pointed out that the league in general struggled with shooting early on in the season. Everyone on our roster besides Cedi was subpar from deep, and had the season ended when Collin's season ended, we'd all be talking about how disappointing everyone's perimeter shooting was.
And those poor numbers that you mentioned could very reasonably be tied to the league-wide shooting slump to start the new season. Not only by depressing Collin's own shooting percentages, but also by depressing his assists totals, which you noted was at the lowest of his career. It has been mentioned on more than one occasion that teammates on potential assists from Sexton shot abysmally. Was that because the quality of the passes from Collin were not good, or was it because shooters were just slumping?
Look, I agree that none of us should be certain that Sexton will or will not fully embrace and thrive in a new role. That said, I'm cautiously optimistic that we will like what we see from him in the future.
