Collin Sexton and the Eighth Pick in the Draft

As is often the case for rookies in the NBA, particularly rookie point guards, it’s been a roller coaster of a season for Collin Sexton. While he’s averaging 15 points per game, and shooting a surprising 39.5% from three, there are several concerns as well. Sexton has struggled to finish consistently inside the arc, shooting just 41% on two-point attempts. His defense, thought to be something of a strength coming out of college, has been abysmal. Perhaps most concerning, Sexton is averaging just 2.9 assists despite playing 30.4 minutes per game as the Cavaliers’ starting point guard.
