We Gotta Get Sexton

[Jungle Jack]

Apologies for both starting a thread and the very high risk that perhaps this thread will look misguided before his first contract is up, but I think he is meant to be a Hawk.  Also, have been way too bloody obsessed about 3 and NOT about the other 3 picks we have.  Even a Georgian (Mableton) to boot looking past that foolish T-town dalliance.  Just a pretty damn fun guy to watch which is huge considering Vegas most likely has our wins safely in the upper 20s-low 30s area for next year.  Fans flipping love him and maybe someone like him will finally bring Atlanta into being the premier sports town it absurdly is not.  I know the last sentence is a good allegory for some of Nancy Reagan's musings on intoxicants...

I was high on Sexton until fairly recently.  Problems he has are that he can't pass or shoot well.  He's more Eric Bledsoe than Russ Westbrook and that ain't a good thing considering he appears to think he's Westbrook-ian.

He's likely to go to Orlando at 6 anyway which, if ORL is high on him, that speaks volumes (in a bad way).  Yeah, I know they have new management but have you seen the Bucks' draft prowess lately (other than the year Larry Drew walked in with Hawks' draft notes)?

If we're looking for a Georgian at the 19 level there's really only one choice ... and his name rhymes with Josh Okogie.

You are forgiven.  Did not realize he was being forecast anywhere near 6 as I wrote this thinking somewhere around 10 would get it done.

 

As for the Georgian thing, I personally do think perhaps the best path to Atlanta finally becoming a free agent destination is by going after kids who know what Atlanta is about.  I know it did not work a treat with Smoove, but I remain a fan.

Great competitor. Like someone else mentioned, he’s a scoring guard that can defend, but not really a shooter or playmaker. He will, like Bledsoe, have to improve his jump shot to elevate his game. He’d be an awesome bench player in his first few seasons.

Would be opposed to drafting him and slotting him behind Dennis as a 6th man, but I don't think he'll slide to #19 and there are better players around where we'd need to be to select him.
