I don't think he has great point guard instincts. He definitely likes to drive to the basket, but when teams collapse in the paint and stop him, he doesn't usually make a good pass to a open shooter. Many times he will try to force his way to the basket trying to get fouled. He was just dealing with better college defenses and teams that scout you and adjust to you strengths and weaknesses. Its sort of the same thing that happened to Jalen Hurts. A team figures out how to slow you down, and then everyone copies it. Then you have to adjust.

Disagree , his ability to find the open man happened a lot...We Just didn't finish enough consistently. He ll avg 7 to 9 assists a night in the NBA.

what shooters?
I'd rather him drive as much as possible than give up to our "shooters"

Yeah, he got totally shut down to the tune of a tick under 20 ppg as a true freshman. And what open shooters would you have him pass to? Would you have felt better if he kept kicking out to Key, Ingram, and Petty only to watch them go a combined 6/22 from 3 every night? I swear some of you just look for any stupid thing to criticize. I bet you're one of the morons who kept parroting the "better without Sexton" nonsense.

I'd say that's actually a strength of his. He did that all the time especially towards earlier in the season. It's not his fault our guys sucked at hitting open shots.

I agree that Sexton can improve his passing (hitting the inside hand at the numbers more often) but I don’t think that’s a sign of his instincts. Passing is correctable.
At the beginning of the season he was hell bent on drawing a foul at the cup. About two-thirds through he began lobbing to Hall more often. Then at the end he started pulling up for more jumpers. His game evolved quite well during the season as teams compensated to take away his strengths.
