The Utah Jazz parted ways with Donovan Mitchell for a very significant trade package.
Moreover, they also thought they could get a point guard for the future, as Collin Sexton was a part of that transaction.
Fast forward to today, and it seems like that’s no longer the case, as Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports reports, via NBACentral, that the Jazz have made him available in trade talks.

Sexton was playing the best basketball of his career in the year prior to the trade.
He thrived next to Darius Garland before suffering a season-ending injury.
He was never able to take off in Utah, spending plenty of time with injuries, making just 48 appearances (15) starts for Will Hardy’s team.
Sexton has often drawn criticism for being out of control on offense and careless with the rock in his hands.
He’s a never-ending source of energy, and he won’t hesitate to take any shot, but that’s not always a good thing.
The Young Bull figures to be more of a shooting guard than a natural point guard, as he’s not much of a facilitator.
He might be more suited for a role as a sixth man and coming off the bench as opposed to being a starter, as he’s significantly better than the average backup combo guard.
It’ll be interesting to see how his trade market looks like, as he’s still owed more than $50 million over the course of the next three seasons.
