Wow Clarkson and Sexton are looking like Jordan and Kobe out there. Why can’t we slow down a bench player and a rookie?
Sexton is extremely difficult to slow down.. He's not one of these kids like Marvin or Harry or Fox who was always ranked highly by the recruiting services, Sexton exploded onto the scene late, and none of the top guys at his position could match him, he was the leading scorer in the AAU EYBL league and it wasn't even close... no ones really been able to slow him down since he exploded onto the scene, he ended up as the #1 ranked PG in the class but that had nothing to do with reputation, he took that top spot by force...
It's one of those things too like I said one page one.. He's doing most of his attacks to his left. the kid is strong though,he's got an excellent step-back J, he knows how to draw fouls. He's a good player... He's got excellent burst too, great 1st step.
Avery Johnson who was his coach at Bama (and word is Sexton was paid a ton to go there....) used to say that Sexton was the best player in the open court he's ever seen.
