Sure, he might, but Sexton is at a level right now where his floor is the bottom of the 1st round. Petty will have to prove it. Sexton already has (in the minds of NBA people).
I think it's more in the minds of fans. And I think it's largely because he had better hype video producers. I don't mean any disrespect to Sexton. Petty just looks like the better player at this point, to me. That could change, and either way, they're both future NBA guys.

He went into a little more detail in speaking about Alabama, as he said, “My family and I like Alabama because family is a big thing to us, so we have built a good relationship with them. We’ve got a good relationship their staff and I think they’ll be a top program in the upcoming years.”

It's hard for me to look at these two guys and think that Petty is the better player based on their performance in HS alone. Sure Sexton had some good highlights, but he also averaged over 30 ppg against both HS and EYBL competition. He set the scoring record for the EYBL and was the MVP of the USA team.
Most of what you're probably basing this off of is the Canada games and what the rumors are around the NBA open practice. That's a small sample size in the Canada games and even if Sexton looked like the top 10 pick most peg him as, he's not going to be the standout when he already has that reputation. Petty opened the eyes of a lot of Scouts because he was a guy they didn't expect to look like a lottery pick or even a first rounder.
I like both guys and have even hyped Petty to be better than his ranking, but right now I think Sexton is our best player. He's just proven more than Petty has to this point.
