Crazy Collin Sexton Stat

[asujbl]

Can this be right in the last 20+ years? Saw it on Twitter

I did literally no research to see if true

The first rookie to top 23 points in six straight contests since Tim Duncan in 1998. #BeTheFight⁠ ⁠

[regularp]

23 points, huh? That's a nice cherry picked stat.

i had to look back at Luka's stats because I was suprised he didn't do this. He had a 5 game stretch where he had at least 25 points in each game, but was ejected early in the 6th game.

Haha nice

The point wasn’t to make Sexton into something he isn’t

Just thought it was an interesting tweet

Others apparently disagree

Was curious to see how close Donovan Mitchell was to doing this - since he was close to all sorts of bizarre rookie records like this.

He never did it. He went over 23 five times in a row and went over 22 six times in a row in the playoffs.

Good for Sexton to see some late season success.

Still a building block... not a build around... but he’s been better than expected

Especially his outside shot

He just can’t pass for sh*t which is an issue at PG

Yeah, I was surprised the other day when I saw that he hit a bunch of threes.... he was supposed to have serious questions about whether he'd ever be able to shoot.

He was like 30% in College...

41% this year and that’s on like 3-4 attempts a game. Not a ton but not minimal.

Legit

Cavs gotta have something to look forward to. My Lord Jordan clarkson is absolute garbage.

Sexton has been a fantastic surprise. I’ve been buying his stuff for peanuts. Kid can ball. The last seasons playoffs, I wanted to strangle Clarkson. He looked as lost and as talented as Oliver Miller in an Ironman contest.

[RYBOWSKI97]

i doubt hes ever been invited to one

Sure

But he is what he is

17/3/3 as your 6th guy

He has value. Just not to a really bad team. He’s a spark plug that a good team could use. If he was the 6th or 7th guy on Houston’s bench? That’s his value

[asujbl]

Facts only

[RYBOWSKI97]

i dont know if i agree with that...he actually plays pretty well in my opinion. hes just soft on defense

i dont know its that he cant pass....he just chooses not too and creates offense for himself.......stephon marbury rings a bell lol

He can’t pass. He just can’t.

Which is OK

Delly will be his Jedi after we take Barrett.

He’s a gunner, nothing more. Reminds me of a poor man’s Corey Magette. Lakers knew exactly what he was worth when they shipped him out.

Who is arguing that though?

17/3/3 isn’t garbage

He just isn’t exactly what those stats say as far as efficient

Jamal Crawford light is valuable to legit teams

Nobody. I have a soft spot for the Cavs, and hated to see them crash the way they did when #23 left. Sure he got them that ever illusive championship, but can’t help but watch this latest version and see a clown like Clarkson gunning away. Sexton is a great thing and he seems like such a steal. I can’t get Clarksons play out of my head from the playoff run last year, so I’m biased. ��#@♂️

Meh. Clarkson will be gone soon.

Sexton, Cheddar, Nance, Zizic, Barrett, and the #25 pick are the building blocks

I do believe the coaching staff and team has made him a 2 guard now as a sg. they say that was the reason for his big change in play lately over the past couple of weeks.
i think hes a beast and can be a legit threat in this league.
and he just turned 20 yrs old 2 months ago.

Huge building block there. I love his game and he is very undervalued imo.

[mrchipz]

Another thing i would like to add.
In the top 10 rookies in scoring
Sexton has the highest 3pt% at 41.3% by a mile. even doncic and young are 33%
Sexton has the highest ft% of all rookies in the top 10 in scoring at 83.6%
Sexton is shooting 42% fg%, Higher then young at 41.5% and less then 1% behind luka at 42.9%
He is also younger then both luka and young.
But yet look at the difference in price of their cards.
But then again i remember just last month young prizm silvers were selling for less then $30 as well....
also since he was moved to the 2 spot in the rotation in the month of march he is averaging
22.7 ppg - 81.8 ft% - 49% 3pt% and 51.1% fg%

Exceeded expectations outside of that

[ninjacookies]

So....Bradley Beal Jr.?

It's not really fair to compare him to Luka. Luka is on a different level. I believe you have to go all the way back to Jordan's rookie season to beat what he's done stats wise in Points, Rebounds, assists. 5 triple doubles. Im not saying there haven't been other players who didn't have more of one of those stats, but as a whole you have to go back quite a ways. He's in an elite group. I've looked at the historical ROY list quite a bit and i want to say the group he's in is with like Bird, Jordan, LeBron (Luka's stats are actually better then LeBron's rookie season) and Oscar Robertson as far as points, rebounds and assists. There might be one or two others i can't remember but it's not many. That's the reason his cards are quite expensive.

Luka has a much higher ceiling. He's a facilitator, leader, and pace controller. Shooting guards typically have a severe cap on their potential unless they're versatile and have next level scoring ability like DWade. Mitchell is probably the closest since Wade...but even guys like Beal put up some pretty gaudy stat lines and it doesn't amount to much in the hobby or real life.

[mrchipz]

He can’t pass

Exceeded expectations outside of that

Not disagreeing with you at all. that is why 2 weeks ago the team decided to make him a sg and not a pg and it has helped him tremendously.

im not "directly" comparing him to luka. im just saying the guys needs some love for what he is doing. im not high on luka like most people are at all. i dont even think he is the best rookie in the class. i think bagley will go on to be a better player. just my opinion.

[Jpayne7787]

So... Sexton or Fox in 2 years?

[RogerGodahell]

I really like this years draft class i think it's actually better than last year even though it's not nearly as hyped. I think there will be more players who go on to have better careers and Sexton may be one of them.

[mrchipz]

So... Sexton or Fox in 2 years?

for me its sexton and its not even close. i think he can be an elite scorer in this league and get better in every other way. he can be a 28 -5 -5 type player with more work and experience. never know

[mrchipz]

yes i agree. i think this draft class is a real sleeper cause too many people were fixated on the luka hype and payed no one else any attention.
you got guys like sexton, bagley and young that are having great seasons.

then you got tons of other guys with a lot of potential as well like jjj and hell even a deep sleeper, a guy like Troy Brown Jr.

tons of great players in this draft.

[ninjacookies]

28ppg implies he would be a top 3 league scorer.

No lol.

Sexton's getting the green light because Love has been in and out of the lineup and a shell of himself, and there are basically no other scoring options on the team.

They're virtually locked in for a top 3 pick. I could make an extremely big reach and say he could be the next Bradley Beal.

But yearly draft statistics implies he will settle into something between a CJ McCollum and Gary Harris type...which isn't a bad thing.

i meant to say 25-5-5 sorry.
event though its a small sample size he is averaging 26.5 over his last 6 games.
but i dont think love sticks around and is at the end of his career as far as being a big scoring threat.
guess well have to see what the future holds. but i like him alot. but i still think Bagley is the best rookie in the class.

Bagley's got pretty high potential, as he's putting up some impressive numbers in limited minutes. Biggest concern for him longterm is health, but right now he's extremely raw and slowly integrating a 3 point shot.

[jstasyk1121]

love the exact number they had to cherry pick of 23pts...looked at 1 player....this player had a 12 game stretch his rookie year of 22+ pts...hitting on 22 in 2 of those...so he doesnt qualify...stats are just great sometimes the way they throw stuff out there to qualify/disqualify people...

oh yea the player was Blake Griffin

[JustinVerlander07]

Buy (my silver prizm) Sexton, sell Luka.

[Filthy]

Lets not forget that Sexton is a Rookie. I'm not sure why everyone thinks a guy should come in as a rookie, and dominate. Guys need to develop, and get better every year. If history serves correct, when a rookie come sin and dominates right away, there sometimes seems to be a fall off of production, after teams have scouting opportunities/film study, and break down how to defend. James Harden didn't do much as a Rookie, Russell Westbrook didn't do much as a rookie, Steph Curry didn't do much as a rookie. It took most of these guys 3-4 years in the league to get going. Sexton included, he's only going to get better.

So, you are saying that Sexton is better than Donovan Mitchell, right????

[messier2]

I like Sexton's game. Every Sexton auto/parallel I pulled, I'm keeping/grading...something to look forward to for next season.

[mrchipz]

another monster game for sexton tonight in a win over the bucks.
25 pts on over 50% fg% & over 50% from 3
keeps the streak going
