As a data-driven analyst raised in Boston’s Irish-Celtic basketball culture, I’ve spent five years decoding NBA efficiency through advanced metrics. Collin Sexton’s stats—5.9 points, 2.4 assists, 2.4 rebounds on just 14 minutes—are being inflated by narrative, not numbers. This isn’t elite production; it’s a sample of misaligned hype. My models show no true impact when volume is low and variance high—in playoff contexts, his RAPTOR falls flat.
