 A lot of bias and homerism around here.

On a Hawks fan page? Crazy.

That’s pre draft smoke. No GM in their right mind would have picked Sexton over Young. None, 0/30...not ☝️. People say things at times just to hear themselves talk. 

 

Ps This isn’t even being a homer, it’s straight legit homie!

Not true. Several teams and draft analysts preferred Sexton over Young. I personally prefer Trae because of his superior passing. But to act like Trae going before Sexton was a slam dunk and had a 100% certainty is not true.

Several teams? And all teams come out with non bogus info? Come on man. I don’t believe any GM would pick Sexton before Trae. It’s ludicrous. Lots of smoke screen during the draft process for teams to move up and back, but Sexton was never going before Trae. Just my opinion.

Ludicrous? Some people had Sexton raked ahead of Trae including Jay Bilas, Mike Schmitz. Most had Trae slightly ahead. In the concensus mock drafts compiled by NBA.com pulled from the Ringer, CBS, ESPN, NBAdraft.net, etc. Trae went either at #6 or at #8, the lowest he went was #12, highest was #4. Collin went as high as #6, mostly went #9 or #11. In the end this mocks were pretty close, Trae went #5 and Collin went #8, three spots apart. So to act like there was this huge disparity and there was no way on God's green earth that Collin could go ahead Trae, and no team would have even considered that possibility is empirically false.

Ok, it was close, but even if one was mocked on average at #6 and the othe at #8, I still believe no GM in their right mind picks Sexton over Trae. I guess we will see what happens down the line in their respective careers.

Trae went exactly the spot I said he would, in our trade with exactly the team I said we’d trade with, exchanging the exact player I said we’d pick at 3. And there’s actually a narcissist on this board who private messaged me asking was I really this stupid or just acting this stupid to disagree with him. Because he’s always right ?

It just depends what you want. Do you want more a traditional point guard with great shooting and passing skills. Or do you prefer a bulldog that's relentlessly attacking the rim. Basically do you want a Steve Nash prototype of a Kyrie Irving prototype? I think the Steve Nash prototype leads to more wins. But if you're a team that runs your offense through a point forward (LBJ, Ben Simmons), you might prefer an attacking Kyrie type guard.

I’m not saying Sexton isn’t good..(kind of think he will bust tho but anyways.) I’m just saying I still don’t believe or ever will that any of the 30 GM’s would take sex before Trae.. ?

There's probably plenty of GM's who would've picked Sexton before Rayford.  The evidence is the fact that busts are picked in every draft.

But you probably thought we were getting back more than just a protected 1st.
