NBA Draft and NCAA Basketball

I'm not high on Sexton as I don't see an elite area of his game rather his competitiveness and physical strength allow him to compete and be 'good' at everything. But if he can do stuff like this against the top teams I'll have to re-evaluate.

His main area that I really like is he gets alot of contact driving to the rim and makes alot of FTs which will translate to NBA. His main area to improve is his passing which has a ways to go to even reach Bledsoe level which many didn't like.

Also Dallas is making a move and only 2 wins behind us, Sacramento just gave up a 16 point lead in 6 minutes but would be within a game of us.

Booker would make a great sidekick to Sexton. That potential backcourt is definitely worth tanking for.

How high would you take Sexton?

After Ayton/Bagley/Doncic. From what I've seen of Bamba I've been a little underwhelmed and Porter has the back issue. Those were two guaranteed top-5 picks at one point they still might be I suppose.

Sexton isn't the pass first guy we want but I don't care. He's everything else. Definitely heading to Tucson to see him in person.

Well I don't mind score first if they can shoot like Curry. So far he's shooting 56% overall and 44% from 3. Of course that 3 pt% is on very limited volume so hopefully he keeps it up against tougher competition and conference play. Of course Minnesota is tougher than most of his conference probably and he shot 57% from 3 there on 7 shots.

Wouldn't it be odd if we spent all season hoping for a top 5 pick then selected a guy outside the top 5 consensus.

As the season goes on it might breakdown differently (hypothetically):

Top 3 - Doncic, Bagley, Ayton
Top 7 - Bamba, Porter, Jackson, Sexton

What do you guys think about Holder? Hard to drop 40 in a college game!

I think he could end up in the 4 5 range. The scarcity of pgs will help him. I've watched very little of him but from what I've seen he's got some game.

I am high on him, and I know he is hitting but I worry about his shot, also he isn't really explosive or shifty, can power his way in and is really good at reading defenses to find cracks when guys aren't properly set, but in pure halfcourt situations I think he has very little moves.

He isn't a vertical athlete, I am just not completely sold, need to see the shot the whole year to find out how exactly he is as a shooter because that's gonna define his upside honestly.

So far I like Trae Young better, but it's close.

I think that Doncic and Ayton are clear top 2. Bagely is a little bit behind them, but above the next 4 guys.
Sexton could go 4th easy if he keeps this up. Bamba is rail thin, and Porter is injured.

We'd have a fun scoring back court with Sexton and Book. We'd definitely lead the league in technical fouls though lol.

Dat comparison tho

Trae Young just dropped 43/4/7 on Oregon. Damn that was pretty impressive.

You bet. Him, Sexton and Duval are all better than anything we have at PG this year. One of them will be available late lottery with one of our lesser pick(s).

Nope. But if you look at the bright side, we'll have a better PG next year than we have now! :wink:

What I can't figure out about Trae Young, who is averaging more ppg than Sexton (even before today's game) and twice the assists of him, is, why isn't Trae Young even in the espn top 100 or in any mocks I see at all?

What am I missing?

Bogyo · Post #519 » by **Bogyo** » Sun Nov 26, 2017 10:18 pm

Not sure what everyone else is not seeing. He is not from a tiny school or anything, a ton of assists, with low TO's, one of the better 3PT%s from guards... Dunno why he isn't in lottery range for most of the boards. Tankathon has him at 22 - bit low if u ask me.

You aren't checking me up, have had him top10 since I watched his first game with OU, the mix of ball skills, wheels, burst and tools that he has with that range and vision, he is truly special.

Other than creating stocks he sucks on D, real bad, and has a bad frame/body strength, his pull-up needs work as he needs too much space to let it fly, low release point, and he is always going to be a guy that needs to get there to finish (alla Schröder, won't probably be super efficient in that sense), but hey, if he can improve his body his upside is awesome.

Like a better passing version of Kemba or so.

Who would you take at 3 if Ayton/Doncic gone?
