Honestly, I think Sexton will have a harder time making it in the NBA than most believe. The pace of play in the NBA is not even at the level where Sexton thrives which break neck transition. But I don’t think he is the problem though as he easily gives the most effort night in night out.
We simply drive the lane too deep and turn the ball over; its been a problem all season. Jones should be starting and Petty should be coming off the bench. Petty gives us very little on defense and is ineffective in rebounding. If his shot isn’t falling you might as well have him on the bench. Sexton should be playing the 2 because he doesnt involve the other players enough playing the point. I don’t know what to do with Ingram. Avery Jr and Lawson are liabilities on defense hence why you don’t see them in the game for long stretches.
While Avery is ultimately responsible, I don’t think he is the primary problem here. He should be allowed to be the HC, face of the program whose primary responsibility is to recruit which he can obviously do while his staff handles game planning and pacing practice. But I really question how hard the staff is working these players in practice. When you see Coach P shopping for groceries in Publix at North River about 30 minutes after the Arkansas game it kind of makes you wonder.
This loss tonight was on the players. There is only so much CAJ can do. This team has no player leadership. If your top 6 in the rotation don’t have a commitment to excellence, it’s highly unlikely you can overcome that with remainder of the roster because you can’t stockpile that much talent to maintain at a competitive level. CAJ needs to tell the players they better hope the NBA scouts come to the NIT tournament because that’s only place where they will find them.

It's just a talk forum. There are always going to be differences of opinion and there's no need for there to be excess emotion involved...
