Sexton is a PG. Lonnie Walker, Diallo and Troy Brown are better than Trent.

Sexton is much a PG as Trent is a big man. He is a SG and Diallo who can't shoot is not better than Trent. Troy and Lonnie are Wings..... Some have Sexton as the #1 SG, some have Trent. It won't surprise me if Sexton becomes the consensus #1 SG, but did you peep the position? Shooting Guard.

As for Bolden, Duke was not the right school for him and was better off going to Texas or UK. In HS, Udoka wasn't seeing him. You know it's bad when that is being mentioned in a straight face. Same with Giles looking average. One day I'll break down these schools system and who fit where. Perfect example, Chase Jeter. Top 10 kid. I said no way he fits Duke and will be very average there and viola. Thornton was perfect for Duke, but the kid and his camp lacked patience. Too many people were in his ears too like Mark Edwards. Twitter that name.

I've seen Sexton live in HS and AAU. You haven't. He is a PG.

Trent gets by on being physically mature. SG....wing...whatever.

You're joking? I'm a NCAA certified scout. Let's not play this game. I was working the Nike EYBL for years now and they do not hand out media credentials lightly. I've seen Sexton play when he was a nobody at Pebblebrook. I could name the AAU teams he played for last summer, plural. I could name his handler, I'm actually cool with him. He is a SG. Combo because of his height, but at that next level. Matter of fact, eff that noise. Isaiah Thomas is a 5"8 "PG" who is really a SG and his is an all-star.

Lonnie I'll give you that. I have him more as a wing, but you could say SG. I like him more than Trent, and I'm glad he was name an McDonald's All-American.

Lol my folks stay down the road from Pebblebrook bro and I get paid for my scouting from D1-D3 for my expertise...we can go there. Anyways, Sexton has good vision out of PnR and transition and is best guarding PGs...he is a PG.

I get paid for it too and we're going to end up going back and forth. Let's leave it at 2 brothers are in the game. Sexton is listed as a SG for the McDonald's roster, he is ESPN's #2 SG. He's best guarding PGs because he is 6"1/6"2( more 6"1) You know what, let's see what he will look like at the collegiate level if he is Bama's primary PG.

Don't get me wrong, Sexton did play some point for Team USA and was good, but scoring is what he does best. When he teamed up with Wendell Carter for Team CP3 in Vegas, he tried that and was struggling hard. Once he said fukk it and went scoring mode, he killed.

As a Duke fan, I 100% agree. Since HS teams and AAU teams are doing a much better job of coaching, Duke just alter their intangibles and BBIQ style to a more USA Basketball 2.0 style where they are well trained but their intangibles is just okay, their BBIQ is decent, just playing off of talent. The last five players they put into the NBA are lacking the fundamentals and intangibles that Duke prospects normally have at the next level. Even the ones who just spend one season in Durham.

It works when we have a Winslow to go with Okafor but doesn't with some others. I am questioning is this really working. I am more hopeful for next year. While Carter and Trent isn't the talent that Giles and Tatum are, they are far better team Basketball players and both have high intangibles.
Add in Duval :mjgrin:
