Collin Sexton has shown he can put up big scoring totals on a consistent basis. He still needs to continue to grow as a playmaker but certainly can shoulder a premier scoring role for a team.
In a loaded Western Conference with no shortage of dynamic talents, Sexton would help the Spurs to keep up as they rebuild. There would still be losing that occurs as more talent is brought into the fold, but he could be part of the final product.
It’s difficult to land a player like Sexton in free agency and that’s why looking to make a trade for him could be the way to go for the Spurs. Waiting for the NBA Draft Lottery to play out favorable is a game that doesn’t always work out, as the Oklahoma City Thunder this year.
