Regardless of who's officially playing PG and who's playing SG, who in a Sexton/White backcourt is going to step up to the task of guarding the NBA's most dangerous backcourt players? It's hard to imagine either of them doing that competently, now or ever. And because they're both too small to guard SFs, you can't get out of jail by playing a defensive specialist at SF in hopes that he'll take care of dangerous backcourt assignments. Seems like we'd have to trade or bench one of them in the long run.
That's how it seems to me as well -- that we'd be drafting White knowing that either he or Sexton will be a third guard on this team. That is less than we should be looking to get for JR's contract. In general, I think you should get your third guard either as a veteran pickup, or as a guard you drafted to be a starter but just didn't turn out to be good enough.
