Collin Sexton Was Supposed To Be A STAR! What Happened?

- Today’s feature is a player many had high hopes for coming into the 2018 draft, and it showed with his 8th overall selection, the 3rd point guard taken behind Trey Young and Luka Doncic and before all star Shai Gilgeous Alexander. All throughout high school Collin climbed up the charts with his scoring ability, energy on defense, and his seemingly insane defensive intensity. He also had the personality of a lead guard, with clips of his high school battles going viral just about every other week. But that’s the thing about high school and engines like CZcams and social media, they can make or break a player’s potential, and if used right can create a buzz like it did for Sexton that leads to a one and done college career, and lottery pick in the NBA draft. But Collin’s time in the NBA has been annoying to say the least, and maddening the way the circumstances have played out against his favor. Circumstances that has him coming off the bench his last few seasons, with his minutes taking a drastic hit from where it was when he was having a borderline all star year with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 20-21 and the 2 years before that. In just a few years Collin Sexton went from a better team record away from being an all star, to looking like an expendable player, possible journeyman, or 6 man of the future. What Happened? Collin Sexton Was Supposed To Be A STAR! What Happened?

may not be a star going forward, but I think in the right situation Collin can be an important player. He has to leave Utah though
Definitely he need a trade but bros elite imo
I think he will be a good player in the right team in the right situation.
He was a good stats bad team selfish player. If he can go to a place like Washington and chuck shots he might be able to con a team into thinking he is good
Dudes said they same thing about Lauri in Chicago. Colin is a dawg who needs the right team
Great breakdown and point in the video. How about Vernon Maxwell or a Chris Morris stunted growth / Blue Edwards .
His percentages off the bench looked really good. Over 50% FG 40%+ from 3pt range. Nothing about that is avg.
Especially at his height. To me Collin sexton just not what the media or a big market want as a star guard. To me I feel like with the right situation and shots he can be a all star straight up
people just love to hate , especially this incel virgin youtuber who posted this shii hating ass hahahaha he prolly got bullied as a kid
Saw this kid mixtape the year he committed to Alabama. He had the glimpse of that mamba mentality and he had his head on straight. I admired his focus on and off the court. If I recall, he was a 4.0 student. Kid didn’t even have social media until he got to the pros. That’s something you don’t see everyday from these young athletes. He got game and can be a special contributor when put in the right situation.
agreed 100 percent 💯 always gravitated towards bro for that mentality, he was a dog
Sometimes the only thing you can do is just to keep working. Pretty much the only thing you can control. He seems like the type of player who definitely understands that.
Colin gotta come to Miami. He is the perfect fit for how they do things.
You know ball.
Pat and Spo need to rescue this kid out of freakin' Utah.
I think when he tore his meniscus he chose not to come back that year because he was in a contract year & he didn’t wanna risk another injury. Most torn meniscus injuries heal after a few months but he sat the whole year
Meniscus injuries have basically ruined Lonzo Ball's career.
Nah nah. Menisci injuries depend on what part of it is injured. They’re most nagging knee injuries ever
False information bro.that injury depends on lots of factors just look at Zo he’s been out 3rd year with it
We still supporting the “ Young Bull ”
Good video. I think Collin Sexton will fit in Miami with his play style. And somehow Miami could trade for him, I believe he’ll greatly benefit playing with Jimmy Butler, Bam, and Tyler Herro and it also gives Miami another perimeter scorer and Utah is ready to offload on him anyway so they’re not really losing anything with Sexton gone
Trade Duncan for him throw in a pick or two maybe swaps they pretty much have identical contracts if I’m not mistaken besides Utah could use another shooter/non defensive player to help em lose games and stack draft picks
That would be the perfect system for him if he buys in like Kyle Lowry did with the Raptors
He's from that era of hoopers that really put the fire and attitude in the next generation. Sexton, the ball brothers, emoni Bates, kyree walker, Naz Reid. He'll always have people rooting for him even if he went overseas.
He ain’t going over seas
Glad you did him. Followed him since high school. Man’s was super cocky but he had the goods. It’s so crazy how the NBA either humbles you or turns you into a monster.
He’s still making millions of dollars. He’ll be ok
@@dwightlancaster2119 no. He’s an athlete and alpha male. He wants a to be GREAT. He didn’t work that hard to just be rich. He wants to be known as someone hood. Being great also makes you more money.
@@starkyboxing8698why you hating so hard. Hes not a bad player this guy has averaged 20 in the league. What the fuk is wrong wit yall. There’s nothing wrong with being a elite 6man. Yall just hating.
Damn I remember the slight hype around Sexland. But honestly this is how great 6th man are created.
I don’t think Collin can be a superstar or maybe even an all star anymore but Utah is a bad fit for him and once he gets traded to a better situation he’ll be really good again
I can’t believe you thought either was possible he’s an undersized 2 and extremely inefficient in his shot selection.
He needs to be on the heat bro it’s literally the perfect fit for him
@@Rjz_Kickz real talk been saying this, to be fair Herro has been nice so far but having another guy like Sexton would be good
@@ReddReigns08 he was very efficient when he was in Cleveland, sure his shot selection could be erratic but he usually shot pretty efficiently, mid to high 40s from the field, mid to high 30s from three, and in the 80s from the foul line
@@ReddReigns08 also last year and so far this year for Utah he’s shot solidly too; I think Sexton is like Tyrese Maxey; definitely not as good but similar players so that’s 🧢
It’s really unfortunate something like this is happening to him. He’s really efficient for a guy coming off the bench and honestly should be given a starting role. Hopefully that happens in a new team but with how the league is seemingly gaining more and more taller/ really skilled point guards I have low expectations for it to happen.
He is the typical tweener undersized 2 or combo guard. He's like a Brevin Knight with the heart of Bobby Jackson.
Perfect comparison
Utah and Will Hardy are using him in the worst way possible. He gets very lows minutes.He can't use the ball as much as he wants. I hope he gets traded to another team as soon as possible because he is a much, much better player than he is now.
Will Hardy is in something. I just can’t figure out how he thinks it’s okay to use sexton the way he does then allow these other guys to play terribly who aren’t better players get 30 minutes or more
Totally agree. Utah needs to trade him because they are not using him to his strengths. If gets on a team that needs a scoring guard he will flourish.
It's crazy how the NBA shifts. Isaiah Thomas was a star in Boston just 6-7 years ago and Sexton has better physical gifts but NBA wants bigger players now. He would've been a star a decade ago. Put him on a team like Miami and he could still be very useful as a 6th man. In an ideal world there would be a bigger playmaker next to him but neither Cle or Utah have bothered to do anything to make this kid's life easier.
As a cavs fan, it sucks cause I did enjoy sexton and hoped he could be a part of our comeback. But you can tell his game is limited due to his IQ and size. Prior to the Mitchell trade, I had proposed a package similar to the one given to Utah, but for Brandon Ingram. I think Cleveland would be more balanced, with less of a liability in the backcourt, and that sexton would've thrived as NO's new lead guard. The fact that he would've been on zion's timeline would've been the cherry.
Yeah the Cavs should've put their chips in for a wing-forward and not a guard, Garland is basically stuck behind Mitchell in the pecking order and their forward spot is a weakness
@brianbadonde9251 agreed. For as good as mitch has been it's been at the detriment of garlands game, and possibly may be stunting Mobley.
@@thankyoujodi plus he has 1 foot out the door already
i knew when the Cavs drafted him that he simply shouldn’t have been drafted that high. As a cleveland fan , i just hated that that’s all the Kyrie trade gave us. I wanted Porter Jr. at least but hopefully Colin can still have a long career.
I still LOL at the fact a lot of y’all thought he was gonna be a defensive menace after summer league
Mfer ain’t pass da ball since middle school. Great episode. 🔥🏀🔥
this video is good bro, always wondered what happened to him and why nobody talked about him that much, colin tho was a beast on the cavs
I went to high school with Collin he still has plenty of room to grow
I'm an alumni of The Brook as well. Best hooper since our late 90s run. (My picture should still be up somewhere) 😊
@@deejaay nah I went to hillgrove
@@8sneakerhead Bet! He did well at both HS.
thank you , many of these weirdo incels have never seen what this man did in high school
Loving these videos man. Thank you. Some names to consider, Brevin Knight, Jacque Vaughn, Lamond Murray, Jeff McGinnis...
Look at em now. Killin it and leading the jazz
As a Cavs fan we had high hopes for Colin, man I tell ya 🤦🏽♂️ 💯
Please make a video on Teyshaun Prince.. CZcams has literally no information on him (besides highlights). Make on on Raja Bell (did you see what Bonzi wells said about him recently). Earl Boykins would also be another good one. Tyler Hansbrough, Theo Penson, Rodney Turioff, and James Wiseman. Much gratitude for what you do, I have watched all of your videos. Hip hop wise, please make one on Jkwon - his first album was so good. That 'now they ask me' song was so underrated!
I wish Utah would trade him to a team he fit
He's a tweener who will avg about 13+ pts per game for his career when its all said and done. I think he reached his peak. Undersized SG's are a dime a dozen. He came out of nowhere to he a HS All-America, lottery pick etc.
He’d be solid in a Terry Rozier role next to an oversized PG like Melo
Perhaps tyrese halburton
Thanks so much for your videos . Can u do Pete maravich please
Just saw him play live against the Magic a few nights ago. Would love to see you cover Jarvis Hayes in the future.
The best situation for Collin was to stay in Cleveland despite the losing season they suffered Utah isn't a good fit for him and his style of play. He needs to be in a system that suited around his playing style, which is why he isn't putting up the massive numbers he did in Cleveland
The caris levert role was ideal for him but he just got injured at the worst time
Collin is elite though
Good video.
He didnt fail, his playstyle has become obsolete in the beginning of his career like Jalil Okafor.
no, he tore his acl and missed too much time😂
@workingclasscards
“Playstyle” but we got Fox, Russ and Ja. It’s just the Cavs front office actually don’t know shit
@@000whitneyEach of those guys are 3-4 inches taller than Collin, and becoming obsolete as we begin to see more 6’5-6’9 positionless pass first guards.
ITS CRAZY as a fan because 10-20 years ago these same guys were “The Tweeners” with no niche.
Once Offense became the overwhelming priority, the floor opened up, and defensive tools were diminished… the rise of the Tweeners and mini-Bigs began
Young Bull! I remember I use to sit in my college dorm watching his highlights. 🤟🏾🔥
This hurt so much , he not done yet
I want him on the Sixers so bad
Please do a update cause he’s killing it right now
Can you do like a reverse stunted grown on Wesley Matthews. From undrafted to one of the oldest players in the league
He's just too one-dimensional to be an all-star IMO. I think he's actually perfect as a straight scorer coming off the bench. Becoming ghr next Lou Williams or Jamal Crawford wouldn't be a bad career path at all.
From the outside looking in, he's a special person. At some point, he'll be rewarded.
If A Team Like The Heat Was His Landing Spot I Feel Like Things Would Be Different
I think so too. Cavs never coached him up and now Ainge is just collecting assets in Utah. I think he could blossom even as a 6th man in the right organization.
He did my Jersey homie Luther Muhammad dirty with that stare down 😂
Can you please do a segment on Marcus lovett. He is currently playing in Lisbon, Portugal.
Nah SG, he still coming into his own. Anyone with a HS mixtape was hyped up to be such but I wouldn’t correlate that with him having any stunted growth.. anyone who enjoys HS & college knew he’d be solid, which he is..
And now as a starter he is playing out of his mind maybe you should’ve highlighted how his coach was holding him back…
Can you do John Salmons, Gary Neal or Hakeem Warrick?
Nah I think it’s politics as in to why he doesn’t get minutes, he still a very good talent
I think there is some serious politics going on in Utah right now especially with Ainge at the top more worried about collecting assets and also getting involved in coaching decisions. Hope Bull gets to a better organization.
Sexton would be a good Fit on the Lakers they need a guard who will attack
Collin is good. He got injured and traded by the Cavs. I think on the right team he will flourish. He needs out of Utah though because they are limiting him.
can you make a video on why/if there are more first round BUSTS than ever in NBA history. (is it social media, nil to early, no love for the game anymore?)
like so he sees this
Before I watch the video the answer is the Cavs...the Cavs stunted bro's growth. Drafted him just to draft DG the next year made no sense
They figured out, between the two, who they wanted though 🤷♂️
Agreed Cavs did not develop Sexton and then dealt him to Utah where Ainge is only concerned about collecting assets. The kid is still young enough to go to a real org that will at least try to develop him or at least be smart enough to use his skillset. Unfortunate for Sexton but at least he got a 2nd contract unlike alot of these kids who end up in bad situations.
he got that mentality , I trust him over a lot of these young players.
He had some good games recently so I won’t count him out yet.
Should do one on Elfrid Payton 💯
You gotta do one on Corey sanders home team hoops legend
Aye what’s the best you use in your video?
The NBA is a TV series, they only give you so long to figure out if you’re gonna be a leading role or a supporting role. Or even just an extra.
So many potential leading stars coming in every year Collin was passed over. He will now play the supporting role wherever the league needs his acting. Doing his rounds in Brooklyn, Indiana, New York, Sacramento. They will give him another chance in year 9
When he got traded to the jazz I really thought he’d get rerouted to the mavericks. And well, I’d still take him here as a solid role player. But right now we are guard heavy and don’t have a place for him.
Collin Sexton I had so much high hopes for him...I felt like him and Garland would've been a good backcourt in Cleveland...if put on the right situation he'll flourish
Both 6’1 guards. Low ceiling for that type of backcourt
@@ry_an.donovan mitchell 6'1 too
@@liyelathimakalimaexactly why the trade was dumb
@@liyelathimakalima although donovan is much better than sexton, that is very true. Mitchell cant be the best player on the team
When your a small guard and you get injured, plus they people are questioning some character stuff, it's gonna be hard
Any chance of a stunted growth video about Christian Laettner, one of the best ever in NCAAB history but his NBA career did not match the success he enjoyed in the collegiate ranks?
I been saying This he should do players like laettener a lot of hype accomplished a lot prior to the nba but flamed out the league
He did Christian Laettner last year: czcams.com/video/fLrzw9QbCEE/video.html
He did one already
Think he did 1 on Him
😂😂😂best in NCAAB HISTORY. Omg, that was a reach!
Just goes to show that individual success in the NBA is more so predicated on fit and situation than talent
Miami could use his services.
He is the best guard on the Jazz he is being almost blackballed
I feel that way too. I don't think the Utah coach knows what he is doing and wants system players. Ainge behind the scenes pulling strings too.
He is! Will Hardy is playing mind games with him. Barely playing him, having him stand in the corner and then playing his minutes in garbage time. Why is your best guard being treated like he’s some end of bench guy and not one of the guys you traded Donovan Mitchell for ?
Just my opinion, he could be a late bloomer like Chauncey Billups, just play good defense and get a consistent Jumper(18-20 feet)and better passing skills.Stay strong in faith as this league patience and game is not the same(Allen Inverson.)If he msintain health and right team,he could be a all star.Hope because his work ethnic!
I think the reason hes not playing was made crystal clear in the interaction he had with Will Hardy last season for as good as a scorer as he is and as intense as he is he doesnt play disciplined fundamental basketball hes erratic and when asked to play in structure with a system hes struggles he wont ever be an efficient undersized guard if he doesnt learn to play the game
I think there’s misconception as to why he’s not playing and it doesn’t have anything to do with him. It’s his coach being poor at his job and not doing research on his players and truly valuing what they bring to the table . His interaction with Hardy was nothing bad lol he was simply coaching him. The guards he’s currently playing behind two guards who make more mistakes and play way more selfish than sexton ever did. So the very reasons you listed apply to THT and clsrkson ten times over and they’re starting. So the reasons ppl are coming up with are inconsistent especially when you look at the player on the team who aren’t even better than him but yet have these long leashes
@@jennifercheeks So Colin isnt doing anything wrong lmfaoooo 😂😂😂
@@BostonBori92nobody saying he’s perfect! Nobody is saying he’s made perfect descions I’m saying his mistakes are not unique to anybody else’s and it shouldn’t warrant him barely playing!
@@jennifercheeks When you consider the other guys yes it does lol THT plays multiple positions and defense something Colin does not do Ochai Obaji is a shooter who can also defend the only real arguement is Clarkson and hes better then Sexton played in bigger games taken bigger shots so i can understand why the coach choses him over Sexton i agree he needs out of Utah but this idea that once he does hell be unlocked by the next team is false
What?! C'mon. Absolutely no one expected Colin Sexton to be a star.
The league is going in a different direction. Even though Colin is young, it's better guards coming in. Next year, going to have some tough guards, too. But he would be a good 6th man on a playoff contender.
Do one on Pewee Kirkland
He’s in the worse situation. In Utah. He has the tools , talent and work ethic to be a star. He was heading in that direction before the injury. The sad part about it now is that he’s not the reason why he can’t be a star it’s his current team that is determined to minimize and under utilize him and there’s no reason or rationale behind it. This is a guy that can put up 20 in his sleep efficiently and close games. That’s not something eveybody can do. The direction of the Utah jazz does not exist. Do anybody really believe THT and Jordan clarkson are better options at either guard spot? I can’t say any sane person thinks that. It’s a very very odd situation. He barely plays 20 minutes a game. It’s one thing if his trajectory was limited because he simply didn’t work or didn’t have the talent but neither are true. He’s literally being sabotaged and it isn’t talked about enough!
Agreed something is up. Ainge and Hardy doing some shenanigans and messing with this kid. Even David Fizdale went running from that Utah situation after one season. If he's not their cup of tea why give him a 4 year contract but I guess Ainge is too busy trying to collect trade assets. I really hope Sexton can land in a better situation.
@@michelekate8567yeah it’s the oddest situation I ever seen. No nba team operates like this , where you would start a 6th man in Jordan clarkson and bench a starting guard that averaged 24 just two years ago. It doesn’t make sense. You use Lauri to his maximal potential but literally hinder sexton and sabotage him resulting in you getting blown out every game this season so far? Yeah weird is an understatement
@@jennifercheeks I just hope for his sake he gets traded out of there soon. It's pretty obvious they were never going to give him a chance putting him on the bench from day 1 and now his confidence looks totally shot. Now even G league guys like THT and Dunn are getting his minutes. Totally messed up since they gave him a 4 year contract too.
@@michelekate8567 exactly they didn’t even give him a chance and not willing to see what he can do as a starter for them with real minutes and being a focal point. I hope Miami , magic, lakers or raptors trade for him
@@jennifercheeks AGREED. Even being 6th man for an actual functional organization is better than being stuck on that cluster in Utah. I feel for him this is going on 3 years of such bad luck for him. Why on earth did they trade for John Collins just to tank and play crap players like THT is such a mystery. I hope the best for Collin and he gets off that iceberg soon.
He’s playing well now sooo
LaMarcus Aldridge, Amari Stoudemire, Joe Johnson, Paul Millsap Kyle Korver, Jabari Parker,
Also I saw a video last year of his coach in Utah sitting him on the bench because he wasn’t playing defense you can find that on CZcams
Chris Childs , Marcus camby Micheal Dickerson , doug McDermott
🚨🚨🚨 can you please do felix verdejo? 🚨🚨🚨
Suggestion: Syracuse star John Wallace. Part of that incredible 1996 big east era, yet did nothing in the pros. What happened?
The Miami heat needs sexton and sexton needs the Miami heat. I wanted him there for years! He’s the perfect heat culture guy and he’d be able to be himself, aBUCKET
Once Garland took off, it was clear Garland was the chosen one
It's because garland could facilitate the ball, sexton is more of a 2. Players were mad sexton wouldn't pass the ball. Hopefully he can put it all together. Kids still young.
Jaylon Hands would love to be Colin right now
Hes a good young player thats played minutes in the league when a title contender is ready they’ll see
Sexton was better than garland before the injury he was boutta make the all star team that year he got hurt
He can score and he played defense
Stunt number 1
His damn name
Collin sexton is crazy
I'm still a fan of young bull. I think if the Cavs didn't try to rely too much on him he would have been a great team guy that fits a role.
Agreed Cavs just threw him to the wolves with no development on that post Lebron team with all those old angry veterans that were left over. The kid never really got a fair shot.
What! The man rarely got his team involved & they would lose often even tho he may have dropped 25. He was not a facilitator, & what you mention about him holding the ball for most of shot clock should be emphasized. He would be stagnant & creates no movement in offense.
In his defense the Cavs encouraged that his first few years in the league. Might be a case that he never got the right coaching from day 1. I don't even remember the number of coaches they went through after Lebron left tbh.
Shit I'd take him to replace KPJ in Houston..
Utah giving him, now less than 20 mins per game is criminal. He's a perfect 6th man.
Jordan Clarkson and him are the same player and Clarkson is better
@@dondahighhh12 JC is making $25 mil this season they have to play him. JC and Sexton get lumped together. Maybe they are best as 6th men but JC is a shooter and Sexton more of a slasher with his quick first step.
He needs a better scenery I think he should be a starter on his team his coaches don't see it
David lee was off the chain
3 days ago he had like 23 points. I think he still has time.
Dude this man would be a all star point and all defensive player if he came to the 305 they would get him right his demeanor is perfect for the culture
He’s such a perfect fot for miami. Him bam and jimmy easily would be finals contenders. They been needing a guard like him for years now. He’s the definition of hest culture
Cover someone like sheron Collins. Or Julian wright.
Miami needs a guy like him, a second scorer behind Jimmy Butler
Agreed Spo would know how to utilize his skills even as a 6th man. The coach in Utah is totally overwhelmed and I heard Ainge is the one pulling the strings regarding minutes, etc too. They apparently want to trade Clarkson by the deadline so of course he's getting more minutes too.
I remember when he killed the nets
yeah i have Sexton coming off the bench in NBA 2K
Dude is still active and didn’t reach his prime yet. Too early for this 1 bro
Do isiah todd next! Dude is already out the league back to the g league ignite 😂😂😂
He’ll be in the league for a long time star or not. Dude goes to work
I think it’s too early to right off Saxton…he really reminds me of a younger Westbrook…he get his jumper together he will be a good role player for a solid team🤷🏾♂️
