In the 2018 NBA Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected guard Colin Sexton with the 8th pick. In the previous season, the Cavaliers rejected a number of draft pick deals and had great hopes for Sexton.
After James left the team, the Cavaliers hope Sexton will become the new pride of Cleveland and lead the team to win again. However, Sexton's growth did not meet expectations. Although the 21-year-old guard has improved the Cavaliers' offense in the first two seasons of his career, many people in the league believe that Sexton does not have the ability to play a starting point guard. The strength of the player should be used as a substitute.
recently revealed this in the "Wine and Gold Talk" podcast, ESPN reporter Brian Windhorst.
"When I talk to people about Colin Sexton in the NBA, they think he is just a substitute player. They think that if he is your chief backup guard, you have a really good team. This is The role he should play." An NBA insider shared. The
Cavaliers once had guard Irving, but after the team was rebuilt, the management still hopes that the guard will be the core of the team. They think Sexton from the University of Alabama has the potential to become a star. During his rookie season, Sexton's poor shooting ability was disappointing. Since then, the Cavaliers hope to copy the Blazers Lillard and McCollum duo to create a combination of Sexton and Garland, with little success.
Last season, Sexton averaged 20.8 points and only 3 assists per game. His defensive ability was not outstanding.
