For right now I think he gives us the best chance to win and has the best chance to unlock the full potential of LaMelo by letting him play more off ball. Sexton can do a lot of what Terry was doing for the offense three years ago when we were good, But with more rim pressure and better defense. kon can come off the bench with mann For now.


Sexton, much like Rozier, isn't going to shut anyone down but at least has the mindset defensively to guard the more aggressive guard. Letting LaMelo rest makes a lot more sense than trying to solve the defense starting both Melo and Kon.

Kon handling the ball more and getting easier defensive matchups vs 2nd string players is our best bet for him to somewhat pay off his draft stock.

I'm glad Sexton may be more of the leader than Miles going forward. Hopefully Kon also grows into the role. Kon should be huge advantage off the bench this year.
