Cavaliers Select Collin Sexton With Eighth Overall Pick In 2018 NBA Draft

CLEVELAND, Ohio- The Cleveland Cavaliers have selected Alabama point guard Collin Sexton with the eighth overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.

Sexton is a ridiculously-fast guard who can change the landscape of a game in a hurry. He averaged 19.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in his freshman campaign underneath former NBA coach Avery Johnson. Of course, that is the only season he played of collegiate basketball.

During the end of the 2017-18 campaign, Sexton showed his talents to the fullest capacity. He not only scored at will but had his defensive prowess shutting down opposing players.
