He warrants the pick but also fits in well and fills a need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want more tea leaves? Go watch him against Trae, looks like Curry to me, Young. Pretty much shut him down. Coincidence? Fun fact that probably nobody will care about. Sexton is a 4.0 student at Alabama. As a one and done that’s pretty impressive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he checks a lot of boxes and has a pretty well rounded game. He also plays with effort and competes, which is huge. I just wonder how much of a facilitator he can be. The assist numbers are no bueno, but so is that Alabama roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornbybrown Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Dwight Howard says he wants to go to a team to help them win. Apparently he is going to be a free agent. Does he fit here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he is going to be a free agent. Does he fit here? He’s a clown of a human being, a child in a man’s body. 4 teams in 4 years, each happy to see him leave. I’d give him the vet minimum and a short leash. Start effin around or continue to be the doosh you’ve been and we’ll release you. He’s a role player at this point, nothing more. I wouldn’t even start him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I'm not sure what I think of a ball dominant PG with average height/athleticism for his position, who can only guard one position on the court, who is an average shooter and has shown poor distribution skills. He may be/develop into a good scorer, but I was hoping for more. I was hoping that they'd either take Bridges or roll the dice and gamble on Porter despite the medical. If he's healthy, he could end up being a legit #1 overall caliber pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they went with a guy who while not having the upside the others do, could be a piece that has a higher floor and can help a contender soon as well as be piece to build around should LeBron take his talents elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he can get to the rim, I'm not as concerned about his "average" shooting ability. 4 minutes ago, LETSGOBROWNIES said: Which is one more position than a lot of guys we’ve had (Kyrie for example). I hear that. If he's a legit defensive guard stopper that provides the offense that we think, it will be a good pick. 4 minutes ago, LETSGOBROWNIES said: True. But if LeBron stays the necessity to play a traditional PG role is reduced. I hear that, but at the same time, why draft a PG then? It would make more sense to draft a wing/SG type that can shoot lights out or also play both the 3/4 and be a multiple position stopper. Just my opinion. 4 minutes ago, LETSGOBROWNIES said: Yeah, I hear ya, me too.

If LeBron stays, then it makes sense. If LeBron leaves, I think that they regret not rolling the dice on Porter, who would be the #1 pick type to build around. I personally think that we got about the 3rd best PG in the draft when we could have had the #1 SF/maybe even player in the whole draft, but hopefully that's not the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion. That’s fair. I think part of it was his ability to get buckets on his own. The 2017-2018 Cavs had one, maybe two guys who could do that come playoff time. 2 hours ago, MWil23 said: If LeBron stays, then it makes sense.

Porter is the type of pick that gets a GM an extension or gets him fired. Sexton to me isn’t a homerun, but he’s a solid double. I think the fact that Porter fell well past us to 14 despite being a top 2-3 prospect a year ago show just how much teams are concerned about his injuries or potential personality issues.

MistaBohmbastic Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I think the biggest concern with Sexton, aside from a more consistent jumper, is that he doesn't elevate the play of his teammates quite like a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Yes, he isn't afraid to step up and get buckets when his team needs it, but he's gotta improve in terms of facilitation for his team, especially as a PG.
