I think he's the type of player the Knicks should gamble on, considering his age, his production and his efficiency as a scorer (particularly with his ability to score off the dribble), but I'll admit I'm not thee biggest fan of his game.
Can he improve his decision-making playing under a competent (however conservative) NBA coach and with legitimate NBA players around him? That's the question. Cleveland has been a complete wasteland ever since he joined the NBA.
His intensity does fit the ethos of this Knicks team. His skill set answers a clear need in the backcourt. And he still has a lot of upside. But he does have a little Bledsoe in him.
I'd be ok with a Sexton gamble as long as he doesn't impact IQ's playing time.
Yeah
He scores a lot on slightly above average efficiency, but isn't a positive in playmaking or defense
Kind of like Dennis Schroder. Put up similar numbers per36 on similar efficiency as Schroder did 2 years ago in OKC. Sexton is 4 years younger than Schroder was, so he has more potential, but I don't think he's on a LaVine/Booker trajectory right now
It's a gamble, and a good one if all we have to give up is Obi, Knox, and a non-lotto first, but still a gamble.
