Sexton's existing shot volume can produce the required scoring without a larger rotation role.
12.0 PPG · 17.8 MIN · 4 GAMES — Sexton has supplied scoring within a bench-sized workload. [ESPN statistics](https://www.espn.com/nba/team/stats/_/name/lal/los-angeles-lakers) He does not need to displace the starting guards for extended stretches to have a meaningful scoring opportunity.
9.8 FGA · 18 PROJECTED MIN — His field-goal attempt volume provides several chances to score during that short appearance. [ESPN statistics](https://www.espn.com/nba/team/stats/_/name/lal/los-angeles-lakers) Keeping the minutes projection near its existing level means the scoring case does not require a rotation promotion.
Dončić and Reaves could absorb more of the creation and squeeze Sexton's shot count. Toronto could also keep him away from the paint, leaving a short stint dependent on contested jumpers.
Settlement Rule: CASHES COLLIN SEXTON OVER 8.5 POINTS WITH NINE OR MORE POINTS; PUSH IMPOSSIBLE.
