roco just.... should not even be on the court most of the time. he's shooting 34%! he can't hold onto the ball! he seemingly has no idea what the offense is doing ever! relatively unengaged on defense too, it's really awful. his eFG is 42%! that's very very bad!

he'll never be more than a role player but at 30 surely hes not cooked

I loved russ as the total package superstar funny outfits chill seeming dude but as a known chris paul stan I'm just watching him continue to be great and outlast the other point guards of his generation and nodding my head

'kevin the chris paul stan' is a picture book that helps kids accept their 'two first name' birthnames.

I remember when the Cavs picked Sexton and I was like “this is the guy they always draft” but this time it worked!
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 25 January 2021 16:20 (three years ago) link
That turned out to be a pretty amazing draft. 10 of the 14 lottery picks have been very impressive and you can’t really question the team’s decisions on them.

i mean..... maybe. he's putting together a fun season but i would suggest not looking up any advanced numbers on sexton if you want to believe he's been particularly valuable overall as a player

cmon hes a third year player who just scored 20 straight points down the stretch of a tight game, he might not be efficient or consistent yet but those are things you can work on, 90% of nba players couldnt score 20 straight regardless how much they worked, i mean theres no guarantee he pans out but he has obvious talent

sexton has been fun! he's not going to be a bust. he obv has moments of crazy, very high level shotmaking. but if he's the best player on your team for an era of like 5 years i'm just not sure if you're ever making the playoffs or winning anything if you get there
― J0rdan S., Monday, 25 January 2021 16:44 (three years ago) link
who knows! he might be good enough to be best player on playoff team, its in play

I've only seen him play a few times this year and I am baffled he's good based on the way he plays but his advanced numbers are actually solid? TS 62%, PER 21.5, RAPTOR is +1.6. not bad for a 22 year old who
― k3vin k., Monday, 25 January 2021 17:06 (three years ago) link
he suggested not looking up the advanced numbers
― lag∞n, Monday, 25 January 2021 17:16 (three years ago) link
well per 538's WAR number he's been equally as valuable as damion lee, cameron payne, thaddeus young, talon horton tucker and josh hart, which is sorta my point
he's a fun player, not a bust, it was amazing when he stunted all over the nets, i just think the player archetype is a tough one once you get beyond crazy upset wins and random insane scoring busts, which *is* fun so i guess it just depends on where you're coming from in the discussion
― J0rdan S., Monday, 25 January 2021 17:33 (three years ago) link
if you sort the 538 numbers by offense he rates as a top 35 overall player (sandwiched in between jamychal green and enes kanter go figure) & his defense isn't even a huge drag on his numbers (538 has him as an equally below average defender as malcom brogdon, devin booker & brandon ingram). he just has to take the offensive game to a level even beyond this

The Suns passed on Luka because they had Booker. Was that the best decision? Probably not. But Ayton looks scary good this year and I can’t really argue with the decision anymore.
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 25 January 2021 17:53 (three years ago) link
ayton looks good the last few games. he was his not so good lazy self before that.

ayton pick was way more defensible than the bagley pick but only barely

Collin Sexton is averaging 26 ppg while shooting 52/46/82 so if there’s a stat that says he’s not a top 30 offensive player rn it’s probably a bad stat
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 25 January 2021 17:57 (three years ago) link
the thing about not taking luka cause you have booker is they wouldve been good together, at least on offense lol
― lag∞n, Monday, 25 January 2021 17:58 (three years ago) link
they picked ayton bcuz he went to school in arizona and most NBA front offices still default to "well you have to pick the center, there's only so many guys like that on earth!" but it turns out there are way more players like deandre ayton in the NBA than there are players like luka. ayton will prob have some really nice seasons but at its core the logic was deeply faulty
― J0rdan S., Monday, 25 January 2021 17:59 (three years ago) link
the league has moved on from the center centric viewpoint, suns mustve really thought ayton was special, like youve really got to be a baller to be a superstar center in todays league eg jokic, davis
