Worse spot up? In Sexton?s last healthy season, the two were comparable.

Durable? It?s hard to say. Brunson just missed 14 games with a shoulder. Sexton was blitzed with the meniscus. History says he?ll recovery and be himself again, but yes, injuries are a concern.

Sexton is average to slightly below average defensively, with perimeter defense seemingly being his weakness. That doesn't give me a lot of confidence, especially when he had Mobley and Allen manning the paint to where he theoretically should have been better outside. I'm not in love with the idea of giving up assets for Sexton.

Plus, the Mavs FO has been quoted as saying they aren't intent on adding to the guard room immediately, which reinforces the idea they know they're getting Dragic and can role with that. Hidden bonus is potentially getting Hardy more run and experience.
