I have no idea of the inner-workings of Ty Lue's playbook.
No one does because it doesn't exist...

That was Mike Browns playbook for sure.
As soon as he was in the starting lineup he looked significantly better. He was aggressive and getting past his man. As soon as JR and Clarkson came in he looked worse and wasn't getting any attempts.
He can run the pick and roll and was great with Zizic. I would love for the focus of the 2nd unit be pick and roll with zizic and Sexton or start them both. I don't think the team will start them both, but that would be the smart thing to do.
Delly was so smart because he as a guard picked a big man to work the 2 man game with. He worked that out with TT and could not be kept out of the rotation because of it. He really did the same thing with Channing when he showed up in terms of the pick and pop.
Sexton needs to adopt a big, whether it is Zizic or Nance or TT and just feed them after getting to the hoop, and no one will question why is he is on the floor. Get to the hoop or get it to your big man. Very simple.
8th overall/28th overall/54th overall/undrafted.. I don't care, play smart, earn time. If you make rookies think they are entitled to minutes by where they were drafted, you'll never get their bad habits corrected.
Your dream of playing young guys regardless of what they can contribute makes Anthony Bennett a 38 minute a night disaster.
In a perfect world, you have a solid vet who plays smart playing in front of your rookie who ultimately should be someone your young guy can overcome by mid-season. (and if he beats him out earlier, great)
People think you don't learn by sitting, I say you don't learn by playing poorly without consequence.
They had the right dynamic set (Hill starts, Sexton backs up), the problem is they probably needed a 3rd PG for when Sexton was stinking up his defensive assignments, blowing easy passes and missing open shots while Hill needed rest.
That all said, I'm feeling a little bit better on Collin after OKC game. He was horrible on defense, and he still frustrates with his unwillingness to make the right pass, but he finally flashed some.
Sexton's per-36 stats with and without Clarkson, in case anyone needs a reminder:

To be fair they could win 15 games and be a fringe playoff team in the east.I predicted fringe of playoffs for this team.
Yeah, like...way, way, way out on the fringe.I predicted fringe of playoffs for this team.
