I appreciate this, I genuinely do. In a league in which defense is too often undervalued, it's refreshing to see that a young lottery pick is taking nothing for granted and showing a dedication to playing it with the same type of determination with which he takes the ball to the rack. If some random possession in an otherwise meaningless Summer League game is any indication, Collin Sexton is exactly the type of two-way wing that all teams should desire for their roster in 2018. I just hope he learns how to display that certified stopper mentality without appearing as though he's trying to flex and sweat out three days worth of intestinal backup when he gets to the big leagues, because trying to intimidate some of the best offensive players in the world is just about the quickest way to make yourself a target of them. The James Harden's, Steph Curry's, and Kyrie Irving's of the world have made far more experienced men look stupid for stepping to them with swag, so - if only for the sake of his twitter mentions - Collin Sexton might want to conveniently forget to pack his crazy eyes in his luggage when he leaves Las Vegas. He pulls up on the most offensively unstoppable players in the most athletic league in sports has to offer with that constipated look and that diaper isn't going to be feeling so dandy by the time they are done digesting his defense. It's probably pretty effective against his inferiors, but I suggest he put more energy into his stance and positioning than his expression and his muscle tightness when the NBA's finest start getting loose as his expense.
