Sexton: A Quiet Contender for MIP
In the frenetic landscape of the NSL, where narratives shift
with each buzzer-beater and highlight reel play, certain players often operate
under the radar despite significant leaps in their game. Collin Sexton of the
Chicago Bulls is one such player. Amidst the clamor of MVP debates and rookie
sensations, Sexton's transformative season deserves recognition, particularly
in the conversation for Most Improved Player of the Year.
Sexton's evolution from promising yet inefficient
underperformer to an impactful contributor has been nothing short of
remarkable. While the spotlight may not have shone as brightly on him as on
some of his peers, the numbers tell a compelling story of growth and
development.
Let's break down Sexton's rise:
Scoring Surge
The most glaring improvement in Sexton's game has been his
scoring output. Averaging a mere 8 points per game last season, Sexton has
exploded this year, nearly tripling his scoring average to 20 points per game
with the Bulls. This dramatic uptick in offensive production is not merely a
statistical anomaly but a testament to Sexton's enhanced scoring arsenal and
offensive versatility.
Playmaking Prowess
Beyond scoring, Sexton has also made significant strides in
his playmaking ability. Doubling his assists per game from last season
showcases his growth as a facilitator and his improved decision-making on the
court. As the Bulls have relied on him more heavily to create opportunities for
his teammates, Sexton has embraced the role of a playmaking combo guard.
Rebounding?
In addition to his offensive improvements, Sexton doubling
his rebounding average demonstrates his increased activity on the boards and
his willingness to contribute in all facets of the game.
Efficiency Upgrade
Not content with merely increasing his volume of production,
Sexton has also elevated his efficiency on the court. Shooting 12% better from
the field reflects his improved shot selection and refined scoring instincts.
As Sexton has become more judicious in choosing his spots and more polished in
executing his moves, his efficiency has soared, making him an even more potent
offensive weapon.
Despite these impressive statistical achievements, Sexton
has received scant attention in the Most Improved Player race. While other
players may have garnered more headlines or played for higher-profile teams,
Sexton's impact on the Bulls and his individual improvement merit serious
consideration for the award.
In an era where individual accolades often overshadow team
success, it's crucial to recognize players like Sexton, whose contributions may
not always be heralded but are nonetheless invaluable to their teams. His
journey from barely playable to a bona fide difference-maker exemplifies the
spirit of the Most Improved Player award.
