I think people (me included) complain when Delly gets more than 5 minutes is because it's time Garland and Sexton can go up against 2nd units and work on being a PG without having to share the floor with each other.

I think the organization did Garland a disservice by starting him from game 1. It would have been alot easier for him to transition if he was going against 2nd units. I bet he would have alot more confidence right now and they could have slowly put him in against starters.

I didn't mind them trying both Sexton & Garland together but I think now that it might not be good for either player's development at this point so I agree with you now. I also think Sexton's adjustment to not having the ball in his hands and learning to play off ball is as difficult or more so than Garland playing his rookie season in the NBA with little experience.

At this point I think Sexton should be playing with an experienced PG on the floor if you want him to learn and adjust. Most people I think want Sexton coming off the bench but I think it is Garland that might be the better choice. This isn't saying anything about either one's potential - just for developmental purposes.

The thing is; I don't want Garland coming off the bench and having someone like Porter Jr. be the shooting guard. He needs a player in that spot that has a clue and, in fact, I'd rather see Windler (when healthy) be the shooting guard next to him even though he's probably more of a 3, just because Windler is already one of the smarter players on the team and knows where to be, go, and so on. Note: if you can catch any of the Canton G league games, watch Windler zip around the court constantly. The sad thing is; I can name maybe 3 players tops right now on the Cavs that would be able to take advantage of it.

I want Clarkson traded ASAP so he is not an option for either young guard to deal with. He has played more under control this season but he still reverts plenty of times, especially in games where we get behind and he plays playground ball and trying to stuff the stat sheet.
 
When I draft over in my head, I just can't think of who else I would have wanted is the real problem. I was seriously thinking about KPJ lol. Really more if we traded with the Hawks. I was very leery of Rui due to age and inexperience. Herro was not on the radar. I felt like I had more wants in the middle of the draft. I would have taken Langford where he went. I thought Culver to help Collin with Playmaking.

Who did you want with #5?
Sekou Doumbouya,Jaxson Hayes,shit even the Sexton like White had more of a resume.
 
He gets a season from me to adjust just like I gave the Sexman, play like this next season and I'll be grilling him for sure
 
Darius Sexton I knew was going to suck. It like the old star trek voyager episode Tuvix. From that point on,there is no reason to follow such idiocy. Darius Sexton is also a experiment if allowed to continue, will require you turning the tv off.
 
You mean fucks

He fucks as much as me when i was a chubby 4’11 freshman in high school with a jew-fro and i was talking to girls about tom green and the bloodhound gang after basketball b-team practice.
 
Bust.
Please send this kid to the G league and find a veteran pg to run this team. Delly is washed so Koby needs to find someone else asap.
 
He definitely doesn't show anything that makes me think 'superstar potential' or heck even anything that says 'best player on our team' potential. I'm hoping an entire healthy offseason can help him improve leaps and bounds heading into next year....... otherwise it's just another bad pick by the Cavs.
 
It's still too early to tell, but I'm hating his nonchalant attitude. With sexton at least he has that fiery attitude and he works really hard.

Nonchalant is exactly how to explain how he plays. He got all the way to the rim in the rockets game and then he doesn't jump to lay in the ball. He just shot it from his chest, flat off the ground then missed the bucket.
 
Time to go to the bench and start KPJ. He's too young to have an ego in the NBA, let him come off the bench and build his confidence.

Agreed. He is just not ready to start and KPJ is much better defensively.

Like that his shot is coming around, but there is no killer instinct. The coach doesn't trust him at the end of the game.
 
KPJ and Sexton in the backcourt is a disaster, Sexton has no vision and they both can't shoot.
 
Yes, Colin needs to take Clarksons roll. I think start Garland and Porter together would be fun. You saw a bit of that tonight.

Totally agree. Garland and KPJ are your starters and Colin is that 6th man who basically plays starters minutes. I really don't see any future starting bigs on the roster so we really need to start acquiring some in any trades or drafts.
